Rosie init at unstable 2020-01-11

[KoviRobi]

Motivation for this change

Packages request #73921. A supercharged alternative to regular expressions (regex), matching patterns against any input text.

• 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.

Notes

• Currently Rosie uses its own Lua, so I don't use luaPackages.callPackage (see https://gitlab.com/rosie-pattern-language/rosie/issues/111)
• Using unstable branch currently, as it contains some fixes for Nix packaging (as a result of previously mentioned gitlab issue).
• Not using fetchFromGitLab but fetchgit as we need to fetch the submodules
• Editor plugins have some bugs:
  • Emacs requires (require 'rpl-mode) before being able to M-x rpl-mode
  • Not sure how/where vim plugins should be installed, I tried to replicate something like vimPlugins.syntastic in the output directory but couldn't get it to auto-load using vim_configurable.customize (neovim picks up package from ~/.nix-profile/share/nvim/site when nix-env -i'd)

(It pleases me that this is pull request 77777, just because it's the same digits.)

Edit: fixes #73921

Perhaps replace fetchgit with fetchFromGitLab, as that's generally faster than a git clone as fetchgit does.

[KoviRobi]

Can't, need to fetch submodules, fetchFromGitLab doesn't do that

[KoviRobi]

I did have an alternative, which used fetchFromGitLab/fetchFromGitHub with the submodules, perhaps I should resurrect it: KoviRobi@0dcbc21

As for platforms, it should in theory work with Darwin too, but I don't have access to anything but linux (x86_64), not sure if I should restrict it to linux until someone can test it

If you indicate support for Darwin, we can have the buildbot test that it at least builds for you! (most of us, I think, don't have access to Darwin builders ourselves, but happily this sort of thing lets us all work together anyway ^_^)

[KoviRobi]

Added platforms to be linux and darwin, I used a colleague's laptop to test it too, so it works not just builds :)

Anything else?

[KoviRobi]

New bugfix release coming soon, so I will change this from the unstable when that's out

[KoviRobi]

A small niggle is the emacs & vim syntax highlight files. The neovim works, no idea about vanilla vim, emacs works if you do (require 'rpl-mode), but not otherwise despite it having ;;;###autoload cookies.
