This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
Git ships with a zsh completion script, but this script was previously
only available at $out/share/git/contrib/completion/git-completion.zsh,
which is not a path (or a filename) that would be discovered by a
typical zsh installation. This commit symlinks that file to
$out/share/zsh/site-functions/_git, which is a more standard location.
That zsh completion script is mostly a wrapper around the Bash
completion script, so this commit also patches the former so that it can
"find" the latter.
The old variant is still working but setting "cafile" is deprecated
since version 3.6 [0] and generates a warning:
DeprecationWarning: cafile, capath and cadefault are deprecated, use a custom context instead.
But without this patch "fetchRepoProject" still fails with
"error no host given" (see 337380ea1d).

- use fetchzip to retrieve the tarball for GitKraken, as the deb now tries to change permissions and etc which nix will not like
- add at-spi2-core dependency
- remove dpkg dependency
- refactor expression to properly handle the GitKraken tarball (compared to the deb archive)
According to https://repology.org/repository/nix_unstable/problems, we have a
lot of packages that have http links that redirect to https as their homepage.
This commit updates all these packages to use the https links as their
homepage.
The following script was used to make these updates:
```
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq '.[] | .problem' -r \
| rg 'Homepage link "(.+)" is a permanent redirect to "(.+)" and should be updated' --replace 's@$1@$2@' \
| sort | uniq > script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
