Upstream removed the uthash dependency in 2019 [1]. It us unnecessary to add this dependency in nixpkgs, and just unnecessarily bloats closure size.

Output stayed the same apart from nix store hashes, checked using diffoscope.

Needs to target staging; LGTM.

Odd. I knew that ofborg would remove the merge conflict label, but not that it would add it, too. And wrongly so. I guess we can remove this code from ofborg now, WDYT?

I suspect i know what happened.

  • I pushed the rebase to staging (without setting the PR to draft)
  • ofborg started running (on the rebased PR targetting master still)
  • i basically instantly switched the PR target
  • CI closed/reopened, restarting ofborg
  • ofborg finished and tagged merge conflict
  • second ofborg invocation removed merge conflict tag

That was my takeaway. Labeling is now the exclusive purview of the CI JavaScript GitHubScript.
