with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
This was added in 07d12fbef1 ("fontforge: get rid of output hash
depending on git"), to explain the line:
export GIT="$(type -P true)".
This line was removed in e9848d11ad ("fontforge: 20190801 -> 20200314"),
but I forgot to remove the comment.
Fixes: e9848d11ad ("fontforge: 20190801 -> 20200314")
refactor the debian patch to apply
still seems required to get the extra binaries

(suggestion for partial applying the fetched patch)
libungif was merged into giflib in 2006, and hasn't been updated
since. All non-broken packages still using it build fine with giflib.
See <http://giflib.sourceforge.net/history.html>.
It was unintuitive that the withGTK option controlled whether a
fontforge GUI was enabled at all, since fontforge supports multiple
GUIs (a GTK one and an X11 one -- confusingly the X11 one still
requires GTK).
With the new withGUI option, it is possible to build the X11 GUI by
setting withGTK to false and withGUI to true. I haven't added an
attribute for this configuration because I expect it to be pretty
obsure -- my rationale for adding this option was code clarity rather
than utility.
- Init libuninameslist at 20190701 as it is a new dependency to fontforge
- Remove gnulib, as it is not used anymore
- Remove a non-applying patch
- Add myself as maintainer

* add zmq (collab), woff2 (format), readline (cli)
* "just in case", keep determinism patching
* fontforge-fonttools: replace with override enabling tools
Don't see any reason to not include by default,
so this might make more sense as an alias instead.
- Things didn't work very well before, as libs were only dlopened and
not found. Fixes#5716.
- Newer releases need autotools to build (and git), leading to some bloat.
- Also, more things are installed by default, increasing the output size.
