Idea shamelessly stolen from 4e60b0efae56cc8e1a8a606a5a89462c38aba305.
I realized that I don't really know anymore where I'm listed as maintainer and what
I'm actually (co)-maintaining which means that I can't proactively take
care of packages I officially maintain.
As I don't have the time, energy and motivation to take care of stuff I
was interested in 1 or 2 years ago (or packaged for someone else in the
past), I decided that I make this explicit by removing myself from several
packages and adding myself in some other stuff I'm now interested in.
I've seen it several times now that people remove themselves from a
package without removing the package if it's unmaintained after that
which is why I figured that it's fine in my case as the affected pkgs
are rather low-prio and were pretty easy to maintain.
The package is broken on master for some time now:
https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/nixpkgs.notary.x86_64-linux/all
The main reason for the breackage is that the `Makefile` script attempts
to retrieve the latest git commit by using `git rev-parse` which breaks
as `git` is not in the build environment. This could be fixed by using
`?=` rather than `:=` for the `GITCOMMIT` variable in the `make` script
to easily override `GITCOMMIT` in the `buildPhase`.
See the Hydra logs for reference:
https://nix-cache.s3.amazonaws.com/log/ib4qp8h4r8d830ra4fah38l7ybb82gp7-notary-0.6.0.drv
Furthermore some refactoring was applied:
* Activated the test suite for `cmd/notary` to confirm the basic
functionality when building for NixOS.
* Added {pre,post} hooks for `{build,install}Phase`
* Added myself as maintainer to have more people available in case of
further breakage.
