Instead of managing external plugins in the beets derivation, we
introduce a new top-level package set beetsExternalPlugins which the
beets derivation receives as an input. This change doesn't affect how
the beets derivation is built or overridden, so the change won't be
noticed by users, but it makes hydra evaluate and build external plugins
which should benefit users of those plugins and prevent future
regressions as we have experienced (currently on master
beets-alternatives fails to evaluate, but this wasn't picked up by
ofborg nor hydra).
The path to the used patch was broken, making the derivation fail
evaluation. However the patch needs to be updated as some new test
failure has cropped up.
This fixes hopefully all remaining missing lib inputs, likely introduced
as a regression by our recent treewide switch from stdenv.lib to lib.
These instances are all I could find using nix-instantiate --parse using
the following command:
find "$NIXPKGS" -name '*.nix' \
-and ! -path "$NIXPKGS/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/docs/template.nix" \
-and ! -path '$NIXPKGS/.git/**' \
-print0 | xargs -0 nix-instantiate --parse >/dev/null
The maintainer has stopped cutting releases[1]. Since the last release,
1.4.9, includes a dependency that is filled with hate speech[2] it's all
the more reason to package the unstable version and eliminate that
requirement.
Moreover a number of fixes, improvements, and features have landed
since.

Sorry. I pushed the wrong staging-next (the one that had my master
merged in). This was not intended.
