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.
Several confused users have reported that this
package does not work at all, and per the discussion in
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/345905>, the contributor who
added it does not appear to have tested its basic functionality at
all before opening a pull request.
That’s not acceptable; we rely on package maintainers to be able
to assess the basic functionality of software and ensuring that a
program can even start up before opening a pull request to package it
is basic due diligence. It’s harmful to have a package that doesn’t
work and lacks a maintainer who can assess whether it works or not,
so we should remove it until both of those can be addressed.
This reverts commit 5eb022fdb2.
