Motivation for this change

Luaexpat has been mistakenly marked as broken during a
20.03 a zero hydra failures tree-wide commit. Removing the broken meta
attribute.

I discovered this problem when trying to rebuild the prosody XMPP server. Prosody itself is still green on Hydra. I assume marking an input as broken does not change the overall hash hence do not trigger a rebuild? Not sure...

I'm still not 100% sure why this was marked as broken, the build does not seem to be flaky. My current best assumption here is a tooling failure. I'm now wondering whether this same bug could happen somewhere else.

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.

Looks like it builds, perhaps it is just flaky.
