nixpkgs already has Inform 7, which is a lovely design system for creating interactive fiction (text adventures) using a natural language compiler and a rich IDE. However, underlying Inform 7 is a C-like language, Inform 6, which has a much simpler toolchain and its own compiler and standard libraries, which I have packaged for nix here.
* sile: reformatting, not changing drv at all
Put all inputs on separate lines and don't use `with stdenv.lib` for
large scopes.
* sile: 0.10.4 -> 0.10.9
Add poppler_utils as check dependency. Clean up some outdated comments
and hooks. Add more outputs for better closure size.
* maintainers: add alerque
* sile: add alerque as maintainer
Not strictly an upgrade, but adds a new mongodb-4_2 target with the
current mongodb from that branch.
Use matching client and server versions in mongodb tests- tests were
using the mongo 3.4 client to connect, and this finally doesn't work
with server 4.2.
Per reviewer suggestion, adding myself as cheetah3 maintainer.
Additionally, reestore comments describing the purpose of the
build-dependencies patch
This change was preceded by the idea of adding a pronoun field to the
file, which we determined to be a bad idea:
* maintainers-list: add pronoun to the optional fields
I often do not know how to address maintainers, so giving them the
ability to specify their pronouns is helpful for communication
purposes.
* maintainers-list: add pronoun for Profpatsch
maintainers-list: make the pronoun field into a list
Some people have a set of pronouns they are fine with, so let’s make
that possible.
Based on feedback by somebody With An Idea™ of the topic.
* maintainers-list: remove the pronouns field
The discussion around the field raised a good point, quoting:

> history of people’s pronouns. It makes anybody would want to do bad

So let’s remove it again.
