Updating deis to teamhephy's fork

WhittlesJr commented 5 years ago

Issue description

The original deis project has been in end-of-life status since January 2017 (1.13.4). This is the version that is currently packaged in nixpkgs. However, the torch was passed to a group called teamhephy, and they have continued the project into 2.XX.X.

I want to have the tool up-to-date, but I'm not sure whether to create a new package (called "deis-hephy" or something) or to update the existing deis package. It's supposedly not substantially changed from the original, and shouldn't be breaking, but since it's an "end-of-life" thing I'm hesitant to do that.

For reference, this is the overlay that I'm currently using to get what I want. This can / should become a package in nixpkgs, but I'd like to know if it would be alright to overwrite the existing nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/deis/default.nix or if I should submit it as a new package.

~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/workflow-cli.nix

self: super:
with super;
{
  workflow-cli = buildGoPackage rec {
    name = "workflow-cli-${version}";
    version = "2.20.1";
    rev = "v${version}";

    goPackagePath = "github.com/teamhephy/workflow-cli";

    src = fetchFromGitHub {
      inherit rev;
      owner = "teamhephy";
      repo = "workflow-cli";
      sha256 = "0mq6q45vwksajmpk7mk1swx8pfhbz6rrnhdjmf225qxjyi47d29s";
    };

    # Override the build phase (to set buildFlags):
    buildPhase = ''
      runHook preBuild
      runHook renameImports
      cd go/src/${goPackagePath}
      go install -a -installsuffix cgo -ldflags="-X ${goPackagePath}/version.Version=${version}"
      runHook postBuild
    '';

    postInstall = ''
      mv $bin/bin/workflow-cli $bin/bin/deis
    '';

    goDeps = /home/alexj/Documents/Golang/src/github.com/teamhephy/workflow-cli/deps.nix;

    meta = with stdenv.lib; {
      homepage = https://teamhephy.info;
      description = "A command line utility used to interact with the Deis open source PaaS.";
      license = licenses.mit;
      platforms = platforms.linux;
      #maintainers = with maintainers; [

    };
  };
}
