New ghdl backend, also fixup platforms and general structure:
master ← sempiternal-aurora:ghdl-llvm-jit-backend
opened 08:17AM - 05 Jun 26 UTC
Add the new backend added to ghdl in 5.0.1. Also cleanup various parts of the co… de, and fix the platforms now that gnat may soon be available on aarch64-linux (`ghdl-mcode` actually doesn't build on it, nor should it).
Also, changed the default backend on aarch64 platforms to be llvm-jit, which should be a drop-in replacement for mcode that actually works on non-x86_64 cpus.

Hi,
review needed for a first time package contribution of a simple python tool starting scanners for Pentesting/CTF:
master ← Darks1de42:autorecon
opened 09:23PM - 28 May 26 UTC
Adds the autorecon package. AutoRecon is a multi-threaded network reconnaissance… tool which performs automated enumeration of services.
It scans with nmap one or multiple targets and then based on the results starts other programms like feroxbuster for directory bruteforcing and other scans.
It is a penetration testing tool and developed for CTFs.
**Not all tools that autorecon is using are available in nixpkgs, but the most important are.**
So when running it fails, to disable this check a special flag must be used, as seen in this example command:
```bash
autorecon --ignore-plugin-checks scanme.nmap.org
```

these are optional dependencies that can be used by the app :)

I decided to leave git out because, well, you're probably not installing this without having git?

Approved by the package maintainer. Ready to merge.
I’m employed by Tweag, and I’ve been working to improve nixpkgs security, namely by enabling tests for critical packages. One of those packages is shadow and I would love another review of this PR.
master ← tweag:joaosreis/shadow-system-tests
opened 02:34PM - 11 May 26 UTC
This PR introduces a NixOS test module that runs `shadow` upstream system tests.…
An existing NixOS test module containing other tests already exists, so it was moved into a `shadow` directory within `nixos/tests`alongside the newly created module mentioned above, and `nixos/tests/all-tests.nix` was updated to run all `shadow` tests.

Would appreciate a sanity check on all these newly required meson options, for what I would’ve normally expected to be a trivial version bump.
staging ← r-burns:libcamera
opened 12:53AM - 11 Jun 26 UTC
Release notes: https://git.libcamera.org/libcamera/libcamera.git/tag/?h=v0.7.1
…
Lots of new features which require changes to the meson configuration.
In particular, SDL2 depends on libcamera, so that option is currently gated behind the qcam option (even though it applies to the cam app as well) to break the cycle. Since jpeg is dependent on SDL2, it's gated the same way.
