Since the switch to using python3Packages in commit 72934aa94e322eb3d5be277d667466643f78e706, 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 2e4aded366914d625a2f31208e8ac8548cb43a7e 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.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
