We are migrating packages that meet below requirements:
1. using `callPackage`
2. called path is a directory
3. overriding set is empty (`{ }`)
4. not containing path expressions other than relative path (to
makenixpkgs-vet happy)
5. not referenced by nix files outside of the directory, other
than`pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix`
6. not referencing nix files outside of the directory
7. not referencing `default.nix` (since it's changed to `package.nix`)
8. `outPath` doesn't change after migration
The tool is here: https://github.com/Aleksanaa/by-name-migrate.
In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

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.
According to Nixpkgs manual[1] and NixOS 23.11 Release Note[2], the
`sourceRoot` attribute passed to `stdenv.mkDerivation` should be
specified as `"${src.name}"` or `"${src.name}/subdir"` when `src` is
produced using `fetchgit`-based fetchers.
`sourceRoot = "source"` or `sourceRoot = "source/subdir"` is based on
the assumption that the `name` attribute of these pre-unpacked fetchers
are always `"source"`, which is not the case. Expecting constant `name`
also makes the source FODs prone to irrelevent hashes during version
bumps.
