Motivation for this change

Adds mat2, a program designed to remove metadata information from a variety of file types. This can be useful for not accidentally revealing personal information when sending files. Below are supported file formats:

  • epub
  • pdf
  • ncx (epub table of contents format)
  • tar
  • zip
  • mpeg
  • wav
  • gif
  • jpeg
  • png
  • svg
  • tiff
  • bitmap
  • portable pixmap
  • css
  • html
  • plaintext
  • mp4
  • avi

Upstream is at: https://0xacab.org/jvoisin/mat2/

Added myself as maintainer as well. This is my first package, so if there are any issues with this PR please let me know and I will do my best to correct them. Package was tested on all file types except for:

  • ncx
  • tiff
  • bitmap
  • portable pixmap

as I do not have natural versions of these with metadata. Some epub files failed while testing, but I beleive this is due to issues upstream, since the software is officially still in beta.

doCheck = false was set, as there was an issue with internal library detection during the check phase. If there is a known solution to this, please let me know.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • 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 nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-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.
