ios-cross-compile: possibly incorrect license

trofi commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug

I was rebuilding a few reverse dependencies of automake locally to make sure automake update works. One of failures was nix-build -A ios-cross-compile:

$ nix-build -A ios-cross-compile
these 2 derivations will be built:
  /nix/store/njc3mcf76d7nkww2j1s944mz62r73c0m-iPhoneOS9.2.sdk.tar.xz.drv
  /nix/store/763zzcr4bpbv8a3lblmm25xsklqbzyqn-ios-cross-compile-9.2.drv
building '/nix/store/njc3mcf76d7nkww2j1s944mz62r73c0m-iPhoneOS9.2.sdk.tar.xz.drv'...

***
You need to do the following steps to get a prepared
ios tarball.
...

Expected behavior

I expected either build to succeed to have an unfree mask to be present on the package. That probably means the license field is incomplete for a package:

nix-repl> ios-cross-compile.meta.license.shortName
"gpl2"
