The NixOps 1.x branch has been unsupported for a long time, breaks very often in Nixpkgs, because it requires heavily outdated deps, and has put undue burden on the python packages maintainers. The 1.x branch is unsustainable and it is time that we acknowledge this fact. The only way forward for NixOps is the unreleased version 2.0, which needs testing and fixes before it can be released and become the replacement for the default nixops package.

This can go in aliases, I think.

I don't see why that would be useful. Isn't it nicer to keep the nixops attrs together? Will make the 2.0 release slightly easier.

We use aliases to prevent all-packages.nix from being cluttered with 100's of deprecation/removal errors.

Fwiw: I think this is sad and a testament to how badly Python package maintenance works in nixpkgs. |

The NixOps derivation keeps breaking because of unrelated Python packaging work and is incredibly difficult to keep alive. Rather than outright removing 1.7 as suggested in NixOS#150059 this change shuold make it much easier to keep 1.7 on life support without causing any burden for those wanting to work on python3 only.

Motivation for this change
NOTE: a preferable solution may be feasible #154715
The NixOps 1.x branch has been unsupported for a long time, breaks
very often in Nixpkgs, because it requires heavily outdated deps,
and has put undue burden on the python packages maintainers.
The 1.x branch is unsustainable and it is time that we acknowledge
this fact. The only way forward for NixOps is the unreleased
version 2.0, which needs testing and fixes before it can be
released and become the replacement for the default nixops package.
