Alvar Penning 521f30f80c claws-mail: remove claws-mail-gtk2 version 
The GTK+ 2 version of Claws Mail, major version number three, relies on
Python 2, which is end-of-life and might be dropped in the nixpkgs.

In favour of #148779, this older branch of Claws Mail was removed.

Release 22.05 (“Quokka”, 2022.05/??)

In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:

  • Support is planned until the end of December 2022, handing over to 22.11.

Highlights

New Services

Backward Incompatibilities

  • pkgs.ghc now refers to pkgs.targetPackages.haskellPackages.ghc. This only makes a difference if you are cross-compiling and will ensure that pkgs.ghc always runs on the host platform and compiles for the target platform (similar to pkgs.gcc for example). haskellPackages.ghc still behaves as before, running on the build platform and compiling for the host platform (similar to stdenv.cc). This means you don't have to adjust your derivations if you use haskellPackages.callPackage, but when using pkgs.callPackage and taking ghc as an input, you should now use buildPackages.ghc instead to ensure cross compilation keeps working (or switch to haskellPackages.callPackage).

  • pkgs.emacsPackages.orgPackages is removed because org elpa is deprecated. The packages in the top level of pkgs.emacsPackages, such as org and org-contrib, refer to the ones in pkgs.emacsPackages.elpaPackages and pkgs.emacsPackages.nongnuPackages where the new versions will release.

  • The wafHook hook now honors NIX_BUILD_CORES when enableParallelBuilding is not set explicitly. Packages can restore the old behaviour by setting enableParallelBuilding=false.

  • pkgs.claws-mail-gtk2, representing Claws Mail's older release version three, was removed in order to get rid of Python 2. Please switch to claws-mail, which is Claws Mail's latest release based on GTK+3 and Python 3.
