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.
I have no idea what this escape sequence even is, but it breaks the nix parser with cryptic errors if not used in a comment.
A friend let me know MacOS is prone to input weird spaces, not sure if that is the source.
Candidates were located and created with:
chr="$(echo -e '\xc2\xa0')"; rg -F "$chr" -l | xe sd -F "$chr" " "
There are some examples left, most being example output from `tree` in various markdown documents, some patches which we can't really touch, and `pkgs/tools/nix/nixos-render-docs/src/tests/test_commonmark.py` which I'm not sure if should be addressed
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.
