@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.

Allows for adding Perl libraries in the same way as for Python. Doesn't
really need to be a function, since there's only one perlPackages in
nixpkgs, but I went for consistency with the python plugin.
In my previous PR I missed that ${sec.foobar} (syntax to retrieve
secrets in a weechat runtime) breaks the shell evaluation.
Furthermore `;` shall be used rather than `\n` to concat scripts and the
init config.
This aims to make the `weechat` package even more configurable. It
allows to specify scripts and commands using the `configure` function
inside a `weechat.override` expression.
The package can be configured like this:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
weechat.override {
plugins = { availablePlugins, ... }: {
plugins = builtins.attrValues availablePlugins;
init = ''
/set foo bar
/server add freenode chat.freenode.org
'';
scripts = [ "/path/to/script.py" ];
};
}
```
All commands are passed to `weechat --run-command "/set foo bar;/server ..."`.
The `plugins' attribute is not necessarily required anymore, if it's
sufficient to add `init' commands, the `plugins' will be
`builtins.attrValues availablePlugins' by default.
Additionally the result contains `weechat` and `weechat-headless`
(introduced in WeeChat 2.1) now.
If I have a patch I want to apply to weechat, I can't do that with
overrideAttrs like I can with almost every other package, because that
only applies to the wrapper derivation. For other wrapped packages, one
can usually call the wrapper with any version of the derivation, but the
weechat derivation didn't expose a wrapper creation function.
Taking inspiration from other packages, particularly Firefox, I
extracted the wrapper into its own function, made the default weechat
derivation use that, and added weechat-unwrapped.
Now I can add my custom patch like this:
(wrapWeechat
(weechat-unwrapped.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
patches = [
(fetchpatch {
url = "55767f5f11.patch?full_index=1";
sha256 = "1pkcdsby57diqds1y5hhl0fr4i8j0zax32jb0gqd36siki3lza3d";
})
];
}))
{ configure =
{ availablePlugins, ... }:
{
plugins = with availablePlugins; [
(python.withPackages (packages: with packages; [ potr websocket_client ]))
];
};
})
There is a small backward incompatibility here: previously, it was
possible to get an unwrapped weechat like this:
weechat.override { configure = null; }
This didn't seem too important to keep around since it was also possible
to get an unwrapped weechat in a much more obvious way:
weechat.unwrapped
I could probably make it so that the first way still worked, if that
behavior turns out to really have been important.
Also add a wrapper generator that allows adding the plugins back
conveniently and corresponding documentation in the package notes
section of the nixpkgs manual.
