The tests seem to be unreliable (at least when SQLite is built by the
Nix daemon). Sometimes they succeed, but they often do not.
Even if SQLite were removed from the bootstrap, this would still be a
problem, so disable the tests for now.
This commit was created by a combination of scripts and tools:
- an ast-grep script to prefix things in meta with `lib.`,
- a modified nixf-diagnose / nixf combination to remove unused `with
lib;`, and
- regular nixfmt.

This breaks my linux->freebsd cross build. It's only relevant for
32-bit systems, and the right way to do this is to set
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS, not hacks like this. Plus, whether we use 64-bit
file APIs on 32-bit platforms is really a decision we should be making
globally, not per package.
This update includes a move from autotools to autosetup, which
requires from build/configure flag changes.
3.49.1 included some bugs with static compilation which 3.49.2
fixes. 3.50.1 was released during the merge request's lifetime and
included for further stabilization improvements to sqlite.
NB first iterations of this included tcl in the inputs; but per some
scattered repository comments, tcl is currently unreliable (broken?) in
static.
They are not doing anything right now. This is in preparation for their
complete removal from the tree.
Note: several changes that affect the derivation inputs (e.g. removal of
references to stub paths in build instructions) were left out. They will
be cleaned up the next iteration and will require special care.
Note: this PR is a result of a mix of ugly regex (not AST) based
automation and some manual labor. For reference, the regex automation
part was hacked in: https://github.com/booxter/nix-clean-apple_sdk

Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by
pinging @NixOS/nix-formatting.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using
nix-build https://github.com/infinisil/treewide-nixpkgs-reformat-script/archive/a08b3a4d199c6124ac5b36a889d9099b4383463f.tar.gz \

In preparation for the deprecation of `stdenv.isX`.
These shorthands are not conducive to cross-compilation because they
hide the platforms.
Darwin might get cross-compilation for which the continued usage of `stdenv.isDarwin` will get in the way
One example of why this is bad and especially affects compiler packages
https://www.github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/343059
There are too many files to go through manually but a treewide should
get users thinking when they see a `hostPlatform.isX` in a place where it
doesn't make sense.

While preparing this change, I read the git blame on all of the files I
touched. I saw a working lifetime of building this system which we use
every day and love dearly and keep maintained ourselves. I saw commits
from a 14 year range between 2003 to 2017!! I could not be more thankful
for Eelco's work on building large parts of the foundation of nixpkgs
that all of us rely on now.
However, the end date of that range of the files I looked at the blame
on was 2017. I did not see surviving code from any newer date than that.
Looking at the Git logs, Eelco has been working on other things, and
that's totally fine.
However, it means that our maintenance metadata is out of date on a lot
of packages, and *that*'s the reason I am submitting this change. There
are a lot of packages that don't have anyone with their name on them to
be pinged if they need attention, even if they have had recent activity
(although it is never clear if recent activity was just someone fixing
it because ZHF or because the package actually matters to them).
There are a lot of packages with storied history that maybe don't need
to be in the set anymore at all since they have not been touched in
years; or maybe they are simply finished.
Empty maintainer lists should be a sign that we need to figure out who
maintains it or potentially remove it if it has rotted, and allowing the
maintainer list to be empty if it is already not maintained is part of a
healthy repository ecology.
Either way, I would like to have the maintenance metadata not mislead
anyone into sending Eelco emails about packages he doesn't, in practice,
work on anymore. I have not removed his name from everything; there are
some things that he is the upstream for or has worked on more recently,
for instance, like Nix, which I have left alone.
Prior to August 2023, any config.guess generated by autoconf will
include a hardcoded /usr/bin/uname invocation for FreeBSD on any
architecture other than arm. This clearly doesn't work under nix.
We must then update or otherwise patch each old config.guess.
