units: Add units_cur python script to $out #69843

Motivation for this change

The GNU package units provides a Python script named units_cur which is not installed by default using make install. This change adds that file to the package's $out. It is possible to configure the pythonPackages set which will be used for the only Python dependency which is requests.

Things done

I've changed the default units package to include the Python script by default in pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix because I think that's the author's intention.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Have you talked to upstream about why this script isn't installed by them?

AFAIK, upstream doesn't have a bug reports webpage or a GitHub repo or anything like that, they don't even use a VCS. I once talked with the developer directly through with email and he was responsive but I don't think this issue is such a big deal that we should send him a patch making Makefile.am install this script.

I wouldn't mind that much doing it but I'm not experienced with GNU autotools so I don't think it's worth the effort.
