Contour was broken for aarch64 in #253334, and completely broke
in #344788 for all platforms.
This removes the broken package, and adds a notice to remove broken
packages in the future. aarch64 users have waited a year for this to be
fixed, so I think we should lean to be more eager to remove in general,
and then the fix can come when it is ready, instead of letting it block
this.
Resolves: #258515

Many terminal packages don't cross compile, so the `terminfo`
NixOS module was not usable for nixos configurations that are
cross-compiled.
Terminfo files (AFAIK) are small files that contain data about
terminal capability, so they should never have any runtime
dependencies that would cause any executables or otherwise
incompatible outputs from the `buildPlatform` to leak into the
nixos config's closure.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
- Avoid false-positives on package sets that contain a `terminfo` derivation,
like `haskellPackages` and `sbclPackages`.
- Directly provide a list of names that can be used to update the NixOS module,
rather than a list of derivations which is hard to read in the REPL.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
