Quoting from the splitString docstring:
NOTE: this function is not performant and should never be used.
This replaces trivial uses of splitString for splitting version
strings with the (potentially builtin) splitVersion.
This reverts commit 41af38f3728bd64b80721c44ed1fb019978cbc1b, reversing
changes made to f0fec244ca380b9d3e617ee7b419c59758c8b0f1.
Let's delay this. We have some serious regressions.
This commit splits the `buildPythonPackage` into multiple setup hooks.
Generally, Python packages are built from source to wheels using `setuptools`.
The wheels are then installed with `pip`. Tests were often called with
`python setup.py test` but this is less common nowadays. Most projects
now use a different entry point for running tests, typically `pytest`
or `nosetests`.
Since the wheel format was introduced more tools were built to generate these,
e.g. `flit`. Since PEP 517 is provisionally accepted, defining a build-system
independent format (`pyproject.toml`), `pip` can now use that format to
execute the correct build-system.
In the past I've added support for PEP 517 (`pyproject`) to the Python
builder, resulting in a now rather large builder. Furthermore, it was not possible
to reuse components elsewhere. Therefore, the builder is now split into multiple
setup hooks.
The `setuptoolsCheckHook` is included now by default but in time it should
be removed from `buildPythonPackage` to make it easier to use another hook
(curently one has to pass in `dontUseSetuptoolsCheck`).
- Lua packages now consistently use LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH rather than a mix
of those and NIX_LUA_PATH/NIX_LUA_CPATH
- Lua libraries are now consistently only added to the search path
variables if:
1) The library actually has a corresponding directory to search
2) The library is not already present in the search path
This should help prevent the search paths from growing overly large
- Fixed bugs in some path helpers
- Changed the affected shell script indentation to 2 spaces; nixpkgs
shell scripts are inconsistently split between 2 and 4 space
indentation, but 2 matches better with the Nix expressions, so IMO it
makes more sense
