In response to @timokau's review here are a couple changes:
- Decrease the fragility of the replacement code by normalizing
whitespace on each line.
- Throw an error when plugins are renamed rather than silently aliasing
to the new name.
Many of the plugins in vim-plugin-names are out of date and redirect to
their new github repos. This commit adds a flag to automatically update
these and defines a process for committing these updates into nixpkgs.
Updating vim-plugins recently started timing out regularly for me. It
may have to do with an ISP switch on my side, but I don't think that
should cause timeouts. I guess I'm probably not the only one
experiencing this, so in this comment I introduce exponential backoff.
Every request will be retried up to 3 times (3 seconds, 6 seconds, 12
seconds delay).
Plugins in `plugin-list` can now optionally specify an alias name, to
avoid naming collisions if plugins have the same repo name. For example,
specifying `author/common-plugin as author-common-plugin` will use
`author-common-plugin` as the package name in `generated.nix`.
Vim plugins were previously represented as strings by default,
necessitating a `knownPlugins` set. Backwards compatibility is kept
(strings are still accepted), so vam plugins should continue to work.
