These flags are not part of waf, they're custom flags that are not
widely implemented. More packages are broken because of these flags
being added than actually recognise them.
Of the packages in Nixpkgs that directly depend on wafHook that we can
attempt to cross compile (i.e. all their dependencies cross compile),
5 already successfully cross compile and recognise these flags, 2
already successfully cross compile because they have been opted out of
these flags, 3 don't cross compile successfully for reasons unrelated
to these flags, and for the remaining 7, the only thing stopping them
cross compiling successfully is that they are being passed these flags
that they don't recognise.
All of the five successfully cross-compiling packages that do
recognise these flags are samba projects: ldb, talloc, tdb, tevent,
and samba4. So this isn't a general waf convention, just a samba one.
It therefore doesn't make sense to set these flags by default. They
should just be included in the expressions for each samba project,
like all the other quirks common to samba build systems.
This change fixes cross compilation of the following packages:
blockhash ganv ndn-cxx mda_lv2 pflask raul saldl
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
* treewide: http -> https sources
This updates the source urls of all top-level packages from http to
https where possible.
* buildtorrent: fix url and tab -> spaces
Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
A: http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
