Description of changes

strict deps doesn't quite work for cmake as it (effectively) pulls in buildInputs into the PATH (precisely, it makes find_program discover executables form buildInputs via CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH). this change uses a fix for cmake #318226 so this doesn't happen and then fixes the packages that set strict deps but broke with the fixed cmake.

there were a couple of lomiri packages where i just disabled strict deps due to how cmake would package scripts, it seemed to want to locate them in the PATH and then package them. I could've just added them to nativeBuildInputs but i didn't -- there are only 2 packages and marked by disable strict deps in the title.

kdePackages.* are fixed by #329977

packages were found using:

nix-instantiate --show-trace --eval --strict --json -A devs - <<EOF
{
  paths ? (import ./pkgs/top-level/release-attrpaths-superset.nix { }).paths,
  pkgs ? (import ./. { }),
}:

let
  inherit (pkgs) lib;
  inherit (builtins) currentSystem tryEval;

  usesCmake =
    let
      hasCmakeNativeBuildInputs =
        p: p ? nativeBuildInputs && lib.lists.any (x: x == pkgs.cmake) p.nativeBuildInputs;

      usesCmake' =
        p:
        p != null
        && p.strictDeps or false
        && !(p.meta.broken or false)
        && lib.meta.availableOn p currentSystem
        && hasCmakeNativeBuildInputs p;
    in
    path: (tryEval (usesCmake' (lib.attrByPath path null pkgs))).value;
in
{
  devs = map (f: lib.concatStringsSep "." f) (lib.filter usesCmake paths);
