Motivation for this change

mspdebug has support for loading libmsp430.so at runtime to use TI's vendor driver for interfacing with debug/jtag hardware, which has better/additional support for their devices.

Questions
  • Is including the binary distribution appropriate here? It has additional proprietary support, is ahead of the open source release, but is kind of ugly and unfree. The idea is that if you need it, you can use pkgs.mspdebug.override { mspds = pkgs.mspds-bin; } to get it. Attempts to contact them about updating the open-source version were deflected.
  • enableMspds is currently ? false in mspdebug: darwin fixes and enableParallelBuilding #58598, so this won't be used by default. Would it make sense to change that default?
  • Is the patch alright? The package is messy vendor code based on an outdated boost and doesn't compile otherwise. There's some discussion on why it's necessary.
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)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

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.

Sorry for taking so long. It seems that the maintainers didn't know what to do at the time, because they want to do a good job and they don't know about this tool.
However, you're the maintainer, so we should trust that you know the tool and we should only have to review the Nix-specific aspects.
I hope we can be better at this, but please don't hesitate to ask for a review and merge on IRC, discourse, requesting a review on github, @ mentioning a nixpkgs committer, etc.
