@groxxda can you elaborate a bit on this ticket? I wasn't aware of a standard that dictated that the src attribute be populated, since sometimes packages will need srcs or have custom build processes that amalgamate a collection of different sources. Does the documentation promise somewhere that src will be defined, or is there something else that suggests that one should always expect it to be defined?

@copumpkin I don't know of any standard either, I just came across these derivations that have a src specified that points to a repository that is (no longer) there.

@copumpkin If I understand correctly, the issue is not about .src attribute, but about upstream removing/moving somewhere the repository.

urbit.src works ok.

caneda and path64 seem to be dead projects.

vfdecrypt also seems to be dead and is marked as broken.

cc maintainer of bitstring_git @maurer.

path64: remove

The project seem to be inactive since 2010 (http://www.path64.org/). The
repository is also unavailable now.

Found at NixOS#15558.

Caneda moved to https://github.com/Caneda/Caneda. However, I can't find caneda components needed to build it. (There is https://github.com/Caneda/Libraries but it doesn't have 34cd36b.)

See #17002 (looks like google code went full archive and stopped supporting git cloning, but we didn't really need bitstring_git anyways)

Components are now part of the base install
(previously it seems no components were included),
which I believe mostly removes the need for the srcComponents bit.

Debian is only other distro packaging this according
to repology, and they don't include additional libraries
which further suggests they're at least non-essential :).

As for the Caneda/Libraries repository, copying these
into the "libraries" directory with similar files
does not cause them to be auto-registered anyway,
as far as I can tell the application has a static
list of components (in the source) and additional
components need to be added using the GUI
making bundling them a bit useless and misleading.

caneda also now requires qt5 and doesn't appear to require
either libxml2 or libxslt.
