checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
This introduces a patch that improves binary reproducibility since changes in
ordering of the generated code indeed cause changes in the compiled code.
Additionally, since neovim embeds luajit-compiled bytecode into the nvim binary,
we are impacted by https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues/626 . It is possible
to switch to lua 5.1, but that'd be a regression (luajit has much better
performance and some plugins depend on it, like for example Noice and Lazy).
Disabling `COMPILE_LUA` at build time would cause a runtime penalty each time
neovim starts. Instead, we run luagit with those security settings disabled for
the build-time code generation.
(Note to self: for a minimized testcase this seemed to help at
975ec13f5d5aefcac1dbb15fa867e660e07c93a1 but no longer at
03080b795aa3496ed62d4a0697c9f4767e7ca7e5 of luajit, which is surprising since
that commit doesn't look super relevant. _Also_ surprisingly it does seem to
work in the context of the neovim code generation, though, so that might be
good enough...)
Also, some of the code generation (using mpack and tables) still relies on
stable table ordering. This should eventually be fixed, but as a workaround
we use the luajit-with-stable-string-ids for those generators as well.

Note: I DO NOT resign from nixpkgs, not at all!
However, I like a clean notification inbox and I get a lot of stuff for
packages where I'm only an end-user or don't use them anymore and thus
can't help out that much.
So please consider it a measure to reduce the mental load for me when
going through my notifications ;-)
some linker flags have been added to support declarative treesitter grammars but the justification is fuzzy and it breaks several stuff on nix see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/147658
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Idea shamelessly stolen from 4e60b0efae.
I realized that I don't really know anymore where I'm listed as maintainer and what
I'm actually (co)-maintaining which means that I can't proactively take
care of packages I officially maintain.
As I don't have the time, energy and motivation to take care of stuff I
was interested in 1 or 2 years ago (or packaged for someone else in the
past), I decided that I make this explicit by removing myself from several
packages and adding myself in some other stuff I'm now interested in.
I've seen it several times now that people remove themselves from a
package without removing the package if it's unmaintained after that
which is why I figured that it's fine in my case as the affected pkgs
are rather low-prio and were pretty easy to maintain.
