I was wrong with writing in > 2.11.0 in the code when writing the previous version of the derivation; even though those changes were in CloudCompare's master, they didn't go into 2.11 and I'm not sure they will go into 2.12 either.

Thus the build emits:

CMake Warning at CC/CMakeLists.txt:33 (message):
  CCLib configured without parallel algorithm capabilities - see
  COMPILE_CC_CORE_LIB_WITH_TBB

Also the removed

-    # As of writing includes (https://github.com/CloudCompare/CloudCompare/blob/a1c589c006fc325e8b560c77340809b9c7e7247a/.gitmodules):
-    # * libE57Format
-    # * PoissonRecon 

is still true, and the submodules are even growing, so we should keep that comment.

I'll fix these two things myself in a moment.

I just wonder, what is the reason to keep comment with list of submodules? It's easy to obtain from upstream repo, but keeping comment up to date is additional effort.

@sikmir Two main reasons:

  • To make clear that / why the derivation doesn't depend on e.g. libE57Format from nixpkgs. It's a common issue in nixpkgs to be surprised that some tool didn't get e.g. a security fix even though the corresponding package was fixed. That's why it's useful to point out explicitly that the package vendors a dependency that we also have in nixpkgs.
  • To explain why the package may have more dependencies than stated in its README.

It's true that one can conclude it from the upstream repo, but fetchSubmodules can easily go unnoticed to a drive-by contributor that may not follow indirections, so making it visible at first look in the derivation can avoid additional work.

Thanks, I will keep it in mind now.
