When specifying the `builder` attribute in `stdenv.mkDerivation`, this
will be effectively transformed into
builtins.derivation {
builder = stdenv.shell;
args = [ "-e" builder ];
}
This also means that `default-builder.sh` is never sourced and as a
result it's not guaranteed that `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` is set to a correct
location[1].
Also, we need to source `.attrs.sh` to source `$stdenv`. So, the
following is done now:
* If `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` points to a correct location, then use it.
Directly using `.attrs.sh` is problematic for `nix-shell(1)` usage
(see previous commit for more context), so prefer the environment
variable if possible.
* Otherwise, if `.attrs.sh` exists, then use it. See [1] for when this
can happen.
* If neither applies, it can be assumed that `__structuredAttrs` is
turned off and thus nothing needs to be done.
[1] It's possible that it doesn't exist at all - in case of Nix 2.3 or
it can point to a wrong location on older Nix versions with a bug in
`__structuredAttrs`.
The jpeg `configure` script fails to detect clang as a functioning C
compiler because it uses a test with a `main` that returns an implicit
`int`, which results in an error with clang 16.
The motivation behind this is wanting to reduce the reverse closure size of
texlive.
When internationalizing tex files, Po4a attempts to follow included files. In
order to find the correct files, po4a uses texlive's file-finding utility
kpsewhich. This commit replaces texlive with a tiny shell script, which is
precisely good enough to run the tests.
This does not change the resulting package in any way, it only affects how the
test is run.

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.

Currently `buildPerlPackage` prefixes the Perl version to the package's
`pname`, which results in `nix run` not being able to work for any
packages build with it out of the box. This commit corrects that and
phases out the ability to set `name` directly, as well as refactors the
code to not require `cleanedAttrs`.
Because perl packages are prefixed with the perl version, it means that
the `lib.getExe` heuristic will never point to the binary name. So we
provide the meta.mainProgram that overrides that, using the original
pname or parsed name. It's not perfect but should yield better results
already.
