"But Synthetica", I hear you say, "isn't that a downgrade?". That's what I originally thought as well! So I emailed the maintainer for the only other repo that had J on version 808, BSD FreePorts. Since they also didn't know what was going on here, I emailed Jsoftware themselves. I got a lovely email back from Mr. Iverson (Jr. I presume?) himself:  So it has been confirmed from the horse's mouth that this _is_ the correct version to be on. I also re-enabled all the tests, since they all pass now, enabled the build on ARM and Darwin (I don't have access to either kind of machine, but I don't see why it wouldn't work), and added myself as a maintainer.
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 https://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.
