Aliases exist for a reason. Sure it is nice to make sure that some aliases aren't used within Nixpkgs, but this creates two problems which are far worse than your failing to meet your neatness compulsions. - Users encounter missing attributes, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/264577 wasting their time, stalling their progress, and even occupying others time that would be better spent on fixing *real* issues. - Hydra doesn't treat evaluation errors seriously enough, with the effect that actual relevant test failures are masked by evaluation failures such as those caused by this no aliases business. - We don't even have the infrastructure to get rid of aliases, because all warnings in package attributes are disallowed by Nixpkgs CI tooling, last I checked. Before re-disabling this, make sure that - An actually helpful deprecation process is in place. - Aliases are still allowed when `nixos-lib.runTests` and `pkgs.testers.runNixOSTest` are invoked by external projects. For instance, `all-tests.nix` could provide such an override (e.g. with `newScope`). |
