Currently autobuild failed to build in both master and release-16.03. The
error message is
mv: cannot stat '/nix/store/a4jzlkrhd4b4nr5760caj3rrjxhyg4z3-autobuild-5.3/bin/abput-sourceforge': No such file or directory
builder for ‘/nix/store/l19vywq8zvbarswby5h7vl4iq1c1pvq7-autobuild-5.3.drv’ failed with exit code 1
It happens in post install script
postInstall = ''
wrapProgram $out/bin/ab{put,build}-sourceforge \
--prefix PATH ":" "${stdenv.lib.makeBinPath [ openssh rsync ]}"
'';
The problem is that in autobuild 5.0 the ab{put,build}-sourceforge were removed
* Version 5.0 (released 2008-11-25)
...
** abput, abput-sourceforge, abput-testdrive: Remove.
** abbuild, abbuild-sourceforge: Remove.
Both the SourceForge and TestDrive systems have been shutdown. The
scripts were of questionable value anyway.
Possibly the bug was introduced in commit
8c4fcc87f8320004e924f53bbaee29ae3b7b4692: autobuild: 3.5 -> 5.3.
As the package doesn't contain these programs there is no need in wrapping
them. This commit just remove the postInstall section of corresponding
package.
There are many more packages to fix, this is just a start.
Rules:
* Don't repeat the package name (not always that easy...)
* Start with capital letter
* Don't end with full stop
* Don't start with "The ..." or "A ..."
I've also added descriptions to some packages and rewritten others.
