Since the switch to using python3Packages in commit
72934aa94e, the plugins no longer build
because they end up with a mix of Python 2 and Python 3 packages.
The reason for this is that the Beets package itself uses callPackage to
reference the plugins, however the overrides are not applied there and
thus the plugins end up getting pythonPackages from the top-level which
is Python 2 and beets with Python 3 dependencies.
Unfortunately this is not the only reason for the builds to fail,
because both plugins did not actually support Python 3.
For the copyartifacts plugin, the fix is rather easy because we only
need to advance to two more recent commits from upstream, which already
contain fixes for Python 3.
The alternatives plugin on the other hand is not maintained anymore, but
there is a fork at https://github.com/wisp3rwind/beets-alternatives
which has a bunch of fixes. In 2e4aded366
I already backported one of these fixes to the version from
https://github.com/geigerzaehler/beets-alternatives, but for Python 3
support it's a bit more complicated than just one little fix.
So instead of adding another series of patches which replicate the code
base of the fork and become a maintenance burden, I opted to directly
switch to the fork and remove the patch on our side.

Since the bump of beets to version 1.4.6 in e5fab33efd
the tests no longer run successfully because beets 1.4.6 introduces a
breaking API change for the Item.move() method which now instead of just
passing copy=True the operation is now passed using a different
"operation" keyword argument.
Unfortunately the original repository of beets-alternatives is
unmaintained since 3 years and thus there is no upstream fix available
at the moment.
However, there is a fork maintained by @wisp3rwind, which addresses this
problem (wisp3rwind/beets-alternatives@33c6525ed4)
and a bunch of other fixes.
The reason why I'm not using the patch from @wisp3rwind is that it
simply doesn't apply against beets-alternatives 0.8.2, but my patch here
essentially does the same.

Upstream issue: geigerzaehler/beets-alternatives#13

In order to run the tests for the external plugins of beets, we need to
have beets itself as a dependency. So in order to do that, we now pass
beets without plugins and tests to the nativeBuildInputs of the plugins
so that we can run them.
As soon as the plugins are built they become part of the final beets,
which also has tests enabled, so disabling the tests for beets
derivation that is used for external plugin tests is a non-issue here
because they're going to be executed anyway.
Enabling tests for the alternatives plugin is pretty straightforward,
but in order to run tests for the copyartifacts plugin, we need to bump
the source code to the latest Git master.
The reason for this is that the version that was in use until now
required to have the beets source directory alongside of the
copyartifacts source code, but we already have beets available as a
normal dependency.
Updating copyartifacts to latest master largely consists of unit test
changes and a few Python 3 compatibility changes. However, one change
has the biggest stat, which is
sbarakat/beets-copyartifacts@1a0c281da0.
Fortunately, the last change is just moving the implementation to a
newer API from upstream beets and by the looks of the implementation it
seems to break support for moving files. However, reverting this commit
also reveals that moving files was already broken before, so it wouldn't
matter much whether we have this version bump or not.
Tested with the following command:
nix-build -E '(import ./. {}).beets.override {
enableAlternatives = true;
enableCopyArtifacts = true;
}'

Regression introduced by 94351197cd.
Running the tests results in the following traceback:
...
File ".../unittest/loader.py", line 91, in loadTestsFromName
module = __import__('.'.join(parts_copy))
File ".../test/regrtest.py", line 184, in <module>
for module in sys.modules.itervalues():
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
The reason for this is that the test directory itself is called "test"
and the package including regrtest.py is also called "test", so the
loader tries to load tests from its own implementation.
We could fix this by changing PYTHONPATH and/or making the test
directory a proper package, but we'd still have failing tests because
beets itself is required to run the tests.
However for now I'm just removing the unit_tests kwarg in setup.py so
that we have the same behaviour as before the initially mentioned
commit.

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
The top-level attribute has been removed in commit
771ed59b48.
This has been partially resolved in commit
18bdd44729.
The latter change however only addressed the main derivations but missed
out on the plugins. This is now done by just passing pythonPackages down
the chain.
Tested by only evaluating the expression, not building.

It's not included in upstream beets but are linked in the documentation
under "Other plugins", see:
http://beets.readthedocs.org/en/v1.3.15/plugins/index.html#other-plugins
I found this one particularly useful for syncing files to varios media
players that refuse to read my FLAC files properly.
