This was meant to make amazon-ssm-agent work "out of the box" on non-NixOS
systems but the feature never really worked.
The problem is that amazon-ssm-agent looks for the files "amazon-ssm-agent.json"
and "seelog.xml" but the files in the package are named
"amazon-ssm-agent.json.template" and "seelog.xml.template". So even with
this overrideEtc = true it would not be able to find the config.
E.g. you'd get an error like
Error occurred fetching the seelog config file path: open /nix/store/pyfxjr0i0hszcj9b6fqly6344zf9zhcb-amazon-ssm-agent-3.3.484.0/etc/amazon/ssm/seelog.xml: no such file or directory
on startup.
Removing this parameter from the from the package doesn't break things as it didn't work in the first place.
The nixpkgs-unstable channel's programs.sqlite was used to identify
packages producing exactly one binary, and these automatically added
to their package definitions wherever possible.
Build regularly fails because of time dependent tests:
* Test name: TestSendStreamDataMessageWithStreamDataSequenceNumberMutexLocked
* File: agent/session/datachannel/datachannel_test.go#L259 (refs/tags/3.2.1705.0)
This test is a time-based unit test, and relies on `time.Sleep`.
We should disable it to get the ssm build working again.
