This is a mostly cosmetical commit, in the sense it doesn't change the contents
of any package, but reorganizes the overall Nixpkgs expressions.
Terminal emulators are an ubiquitous tool for any Unix user; even the beginners
are routinely familiarized to it. And, manifestly, there are many
implementations of terminal emulators out there, from those traditionally made
in C and C++ to those written in Haskell and Go.
Terminal emulators deserve more highlight. This commit does that by creating a
category for them.
The patch phase runs after the build phase. Which means than when
using an override to override both 'conf' and 'patches' to provide
a custom config file and apply some patches, it doesn't work:
- first the patches applied (optionally changing config.def.h)
- then preBuild is run which overrides config.def.h with the user
supplied one (effectively cancelling previously applied patches)
By copying the config file in the prePatch phase instead, changes
are kept and applied in order.
Since years I'm not maintaining anything of the list below other
than some updates when I needed them for some reason. Other people
is doing that maintenance on my behalf so I better take me out but
for very few packages. Finally!
