Motivation for this change

Add litmus (a WebDAV server comliance tester) to Nix.

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 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.

Please use pname.

Is there any documentation about name vs. pname? I cannot find anything in the documentation.

NixOS/rfcs#35, perhaps?

Thanks. But when I understand RFC0035 correctly, it only says that name should be automatically set to ${pname}-${version}, if pname and version are set, to reduce redundancy. (But it seems that noone notices the downside of this -- it makes package-definitons less obvious, since then name is "magically" defined and comes out of nowhere. Explicit is better than implicit.)
But RFC0035 does neither require nor recommend to use pname, so the above is perfectly fine.

If "you should use pname instead of name" is the official NixOS-optionion, it should be mentioned in the documentation.

You are right, feel free to open a pull request for the documentation to include it.

No, I won't and I can't document it.
It's the duty of the ones who want to promote pname to document it, including why and how exactly to use it.

Are you sure this is needed?

Yes. Without "openssl"/"--with-ssl", litmus would only be able to communicate over http, not https. And https/SSL is important.

inputFlags probably may be omitted, I think.

(minor correction: do you mean installFlags can be dropped, not inputFlags?)

Yes, installFlags may be dropped, I think.

Yes, I was refering to line 14, installFlags.

Thank you for your contributions.
This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.
If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.
Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the
    related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on
    irc.freenode.net.
