alloy: add alloy5 and take maintainership #47262

Add alloy5 (currently, 5.0.0.1), update homepage and downloadPage, and
take maintainership of the package.

Motivation for this change

I've started using alloy for my research, and noticed that the package was orphaned a while ago, and that alloy 5 wasn't available on nixpkgs. So I thought I'd change that 馃檪

Things done
  • 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 nox --run "nox-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)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This is my first ever contribution to nixpkgs, please feel free to point out any mistakes and/or areas of improvement.

Add alloy5 (currently, 5.0.0.1), update homepage and downloadPage, and
take maintainership of the package.

Use makeWrapper here as described in the java chapter of the nixpkgs manual.

makeWrapper goes to nativeBuildInputs

jar=$out/share/alloy/alloy${version}.jar

I would rather not override these phases as it gives users to apply custom modifications when overriding the package.


phases = [ "installPhase" ];
buildInputs = [ jre ];

Not really used for building. In the wrapper the full path is specified already.

Please remember to remove alloy4, once alloy5 becomes the stable version.

@Mic92 Thanks for the feedback, I pushed another commit. And yeah I'll remove version 4 once 5 is stable.
