There is an arbitrary mapping being done right now between
nixpkgs lua infrastructre and luarocks config schema.
This is confusing if you use lua so let's make it possible to use the
lua names in the nixpkgs, thanks to the lib.generators.toLua convertor.
The only nixpkgs thing to remember should be to put the config into `luarocksConfig`
`buildLuarocksPackage.extraVariables` should become `buildLuarocksPackage.luarocksConfig.variables`
I believe it would be helpful to better explain how to use
`nuget-to-nix` for those who aren't familar with the .NET ecosystem as I
was personally stumped on how to use it.
This allows for adding new, conditionally set, derivation attributes
to an existing derivation without changing any output paths in the
case where the condition is not met.
`lib.recursiveUpdate` indiscriminately recurses into all attribute sets,
also into derivations. This means that it is possible that evaluating a
derivation in the final haskell package set can cause something in
`prev.haskell` to be forced by `recursiveUpdate`, potentially causing an
evaluation error that should not happen.
It can be fixed using a well-crafted predicate for
`lib.recursiveUpdateUntil`, but most robust is just explicitly writing
out the desired merging manually.
Rename channel `nixpkgs` to `nixpkgs-unstable`. Based on the
[repo branches](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/branches)
and [channel status](https://status.nixos.org) I don't believe there is
a `nixpkgs` channel. This confused me as a Nixpkgs beginner.
Rename to `nixpkgs-unstable`, which does exist.
Refer to "nixpkgs repository" consitently. Make the capitalization and
"code quoting" consistent when referring to the repository itself.

Per RFC 9110, [section 8.8.1][1], different representations of the same
resource should have different Etags:
> A strong validator is unique across all versions of all
> representations associated with a particular resource over time.
> However, there is no implication of uniqueness across representations
> of different resources (i.e., the same strong validator might be in
> use for representations of multiple resources at the same time and
> does not imply that those representations are equivalent)
When serving statically compressed files (ie, when there is an existing
corresponding .gz/.br/etc. file on disk), Nginx sends the Etag marked
as strong. These tags should be different for each compressed format
(as shown in an explicit example in section [8.8.3.3][2] of the RFC).
Upstream Etags are composed of the file modification timestamp and
content length, and the latter generally changes between these
representations.
Previous implementation of Nix-specific Etags for things served from
store used the store hash. This is fine to share between different
files, but it becomes a problem for statically compressed versions of
the same file, as it means Nginx was serving different representations
of the same resource with the same Etag, marked as strong.
This patch addresses this by imitating the upstream Nginx behavior, and
appending the value of content length to the store hash.

lualatex assumes a writeable font cache relative to `$HOME`, for nix this has two implications.
First, the cache might diverge from the nix store if users use LuaLaTeX.
Second, `$HOME` needs to be set to a writable path in derivations.
All other functions are in the form of `*{c,C}heckpointBuild*`, so we
deprecate the `mkCheckpointedBuild` function in favor of `mkCheckpointBuild`.
Also address some inconsistencies in the docs: some `buildOutput` should
actually be `incrementalBuildArtifacts`.

The `pcre` library is "now at end of life, and is no longer being
maintained," according to the upstream maintainers. Accordingly, we
should replace uses of `pcre` with its actively maintained successor,
`pcre2`, wherever possible .
It is fine to use `with` on the inputs, since that increases the
overall readability of the package.
Removes `wheel` from `nativeBuildInputs`, since it is a result of
cargo culting from an earlier setuptools example, that was wrong, and
it is not required, since it is provided by setuptools itself.
The python-updates branch was formerly called python-unstable, but the
new branch name was never mentioned in the docs. This commit changes the
branch name in the docs to python-updates.
We get a dependency list with pub2nix now. We can no longer easily distinguish between development dependency dependencies and regular dependency dependencies, but we weren't doing this anyway.
The mkBinaryCache section now follows the convention of using one
line per sentence, as well as using admonitions for notes and
examples.
The example syntax was updated to define a fully-working nix package.
The following changes are made:
- Document how `wrapType2` and `wrapType1` are the same thing.
- Expand on how `wrapType2` works and additional arguments it uses.
- Document `extract` and show how it's used in combination with
`wrapType2`.
- Provide full working examples using the new admonition syntax.
Fixes some mistakes regarding the references to cargoHash in the codes referenced.
Fixes a typo for cargoSha256.
States that cargoHash should be preferred.
