1. Revert "buildSkawarePackage: pass through extra args" …

   This reverts commit a506532.
   
   The reasons cited were “debugging”, in which case
   you can just add the attribute to `buildSkawarePackage`
   and “customizing”, which is still possible with
   a normal `overrideDerivation`.
   
   The patch removed `outputs` for some reason
   (possible oversight), so building nsss failed.
   Plus lots of complexity (e.g. don’t forget to add new
   arguments to `removeAttrs` otherwise there’s a bug now).

2. skawarePackages: release 2020-03 …

     Hello,
   
     New versions of all the skarnet.org packages are available.
   This is mostly a bugfix release (there was an installation bug in
   some circumstances with shared libraries) but some packages, notably
   execline and s6, have new, useful features.
   
     The new versions are the following:
   
   skalibs-2.9.2.0
   nsss-0.0.2.2
   utmps-0.0.3.2
   execline-2.6.0.0
   s6-2.9.1.0
   s6-rc-0.5.1.2
   s6-linux-init-1.0.4.0
   s6-dns-2.3.2.0
   s6-networking-2.3.1.2
   s6-portable-utils-2.2.2.2
   s6-linux-utils-2.5.1.2
   mdevd-0.1.1.2
   bcnm-0.0.1.0
   
     Here are details for the packages that have more than bugfixes:
   
   * skalibs-2.9.2.0
      ---------------
   
     - New header: skalibs/bigkv.h. It's a set of functions allowing
   efficient lookups in a large set of strings (typically read from the
   command line or the environment).
   
     https://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/
     git://git.skarnet.org/skalibs
   
     * execline-2.6.0.0
       ----------------
   
     - It's a major release because an API has been modified: dollarat.
   Beforehand, dollarat's -0 option would always prevail over any -d
   option. Now, dollarat has its conflicting -0 and -d options handled
   in the conventional way, with rightmost priority.
   
     - The runblock program now accepts a command line prefix, which is
   given as runblock's own command line. This allows blocks to serve as
   arguments to a new command, instead of having to be full command lines
   by themselves.
   
     - New binary: posix-umask.
   
     - The former "cd" program is now named "execline-cd" and the former
   "umask" program is named "execline-umask". When the=20
   --enable-pedantic-posix
   option is not given at configure time, "cd" and "umask" are symbolic
   links created at installation time and pointing to execline-cd and
   execline-umask respectively. When the --enable-pedantic-posix option is
   given, the symbolic links point to posix-cd and posix-umask instead.
   
     - With posix-cd and posix-umask (and the changes to wait done in the
   previous version), execline is now fully POSIX-compliant when built with
   the --enable-pedantic-posix option. This will certainly, without the
   slightest hint of a doubt, change distributions' attitudes about it.
   
     https://skarnet.org/software/execline/
     git://git.skarnet.org/execline
   
     * s6-2.9.1.0
       ----------
   
     - A new '?' directive has been added to s6-log. It behaves exactly like
   '!', except that it spawns the given processor with /bin/sh as an
   interpreter instead of execlineb.
   
     - execline support is now optional: it can be disabled by specifying
   --disable-execline at configure time. Some functionality is unavailable
   when execline support is disabled:
       * s6-log's '!' directive
       * s6-notifyoncheck's -c option
       * s6-ipcserver-access's support for 'exec' directives in a ruleset
   
     - A new -X option has been added to s6-svscan, to specify a descriptor
   that will be passed as stderr to a service spawned by this s6-svscan and
   named s6-svscan-log. This is used in the new s6-linux-init, to avoid
   needing to hardcode the /dev/console name for the catch-all logger's
   standard error.
   
     - On systems that define SIGPWR and SIGWINCH, s6-svscan -s now diverts
   those signals. This allows powerfail and kbrequest events to be handled
   when s6-svscan runs as process 1.
   
     https://skarnet.org/software/s6/
     git://git.skarnet.org/s6
   
     * s6-linux-init-1.0.4.0
       ---------------------
   
     - New options have been added to s6-linux-init-maker: to support
   running s6-linux-init without a catch-all logger, and to support running
   it in a container.
   
     - s6-linux-init-maker now adds a SIGPWR handler to the default image:
   on receipt of a SIGPWR, the system's shutdown procedure is triggered.
   
     - s6-linux-init now handles kbrequest, which triggers a SIGWINCH in
   init when a special, configurable set of keys is pressed. By default,
   no SIGWINCH handler is declared in the image, and no set of keys is
   bound to kbrequest.

     git://git.skarnet.org/s6-linux-init
   
     * s6-dns-2.3.2.0
       --------------
   
     - New library: libdcache, implementing a clean cache structure
   to contain DNS data. It's still not used at the moment.
   
     https://skarnet.org/software/s6-dns/
     git://git.skarnet.org/s6-dns
   
     * bcnm-0.0.1.0
       ------------
   
     - First numbered release, because the Ad=C3=A9lie Linux distribution,
   which uses libwpactrl, needs an official release instead of pulling
   from git.
   
     - libwpactrl is a set of C functions helping control a wpa_supplicant
   process.
   
     - bcnm-waitif is a binary that waits for network interface state
   events such as appearance/disappearance, up/down, running/not-running.
   It is useful to avoid race conditions during a boot sequence, for
   instance.

     Enjoy,
     Bug-reports welcome.
