Updating the < xonsh > shell

[abhi18av]

Hi @r-ryantm ,

Could you please update the xonsh shell to 0.8.0 ? I think as of now it's quite outdated.

0.8.0 felt kind of a bumpy release for me, but at this point any upgrade is welcome, I guess.

Also, once we're on the topic, here are some erratic tricks I use for my xonsh 0.8.0 overlay to make it startup faster, maybe some of these could be useful in the upstream packaging:

    postInstall = ''
      site_packages=$(python -c "import site; print(site.__file__.rsplit('/', 2)[-2])")
      xonsh=$out/lib/$site_packages/site-packages/xonsh/
      install -D -m644 xonsh/parser_table.py xonsh/__amalgam__.py $xonsh
      install -D -m644 xonsh/completers/__amalgam__.py $xonsh/completers/
      install -D -m644 xonsh/history/__amalgam__.py $xonsh/history/
      install -D -m644 xonsh/prompt/__amalgam__.py $xonsh/prompt/
      python -m compileall $xonsh
      python -O -m compileall $xonsh
    '';
    postFixup = ''
      substituteInPlace $out/bin/.xonsh-wrapped --replace 'python3.6m' 'python3.6m -O'
    '';

I understand @joachifm , please feel free to close this issue in that case.

@abhi18av hm? I did not intend to indicate this should be closed.

Here is the log that r-ryantm produced while trying to build xonsh (these logs are available at https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/issues/62):

Unfortunately, r-ryantm can only do basic updates of bumping version numbers and hashes, and when it bumps the version and hash of xonsh, it doesn't build. If someone fixes the build, r-ryantm will probably be able to do trivial updates that don't need new dependencies, compiler flags, etc.

I think we can close this, xonsh is packaged at 0.8.3 (latest release)

Thanks!
