Otherwise references to the Python interpreter inside the set are wrong, as demonstrated by:
``` nix
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the _non_ overriden requests.
And the same with `self`:
```
with import <nixpkgs> { };
let
python' = python3.override {
self = python';
packageOverrides = final: prev: { requests = prev.requests.overridePythonAttrs(old: { version = "1337"; }); };
};
in python'.pkgs.python.pkgs.requests
```
which returns the overriden requests.
This can manifest itself as file collisions when constructing environments or as subtly incorrect dependency graphs.
Man, copy&paste to five places is just great :-/
The referenced upstream patch should fix the compatibility,
but it won't apply cleanly to this version, so I dropped the test.
checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
I'm baaaaack!
This patch reverts my patch where I removed myself as maintainer because
of my traveling. I'm back now and I want to maintain these packages
again.
This reverts commit ce1c1e3093.
With this patch I remove myself as a maintainer for all packages I
currently maintain.
This is due the fact that I will be basically off the grid from May 2018
until early 2019, as I will be on a trip through north america.
I will revert this patch as soon as I'm back, as I plan to continue
contributing to nixpkgs then.
But as I cannot maintain anything during that time, I'd like to get this
patch merged.

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
