New libffi doesn't have FFI_SYSV for x86/64 unix, this pulls in the
commit for the upstream version which fixes it, and ports that patch to
the 5.7 version. The 5.6 version is unchanged.
For ZHF: #80379
Also updates the matchable egg (used by egg2nix) from 1.0 -> 1.1 and
removes trailing slashes from the path prefix variables passed to
wrapProgram (they're unnecessary and only result in doubled-up slashes
in the values).
I din't try to pinpoint the exact commit, but we started getting:
> The extension smart is not supported for docbook
Reading pandoc docs, I can't see what use to us "smart" could be
when writing the in-between docbook (to be converted to html).
https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-smart
Prior to this fix, changes to certain settings would not be applied
automatically and users would have to know to manually restart the
affected service. A prime example of this is
`services.mailman.hyperkitty.baseUrl`, or various things that affect
`mailman3/settings.py`
httpie has quite extensive documentation in form of its rst readme.
With docutils it’s quite easy to convert to html.
We can also convert it to a manpage, which makes the documentation
accessible from the command line (even though it’s not quite standard
format as far as manpages go; however a lot better than nothing).
The current version of glibc implements support for kernels down to
3.2.0 (and we make sure to enable such support with apporopriate
--enable-kernel setting). The current RHEL6 operating system is based on
a maintained kernel based on 2.6.32 with lots of backports. We provide
basic support for this specific kernel by patching glibc to provide an
exception for this specific version of kernel. This allows for nixpkgs
software distribution to work on RHEL6 and it does so quite well with
almost no problems. There are, however, a few syscalls that are missing
in the 2.6.32 kernel, one of which is prlimit64. This commit provides a
fallback that uses an older {get,set}rlimit syscalls in cases when
prlimit64 is not available. This should streamline the experience for
nixpkgs users wanting to run it on RHEL6, namely, this fixes one of the
tests in findutils.

CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES is part of the default x86 kernel config but
absent from the Aarch64 one. Adding explicitely this flag together
with its dependency IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER.
Both of these config flags are needed to use the routing policy
facilities.
