After #318015 will be Now that #318015 is merged, we should start deprecate the usage of mkYarnPackage, because it is too complex, and hard to maintain. It also requires to vendor into Nixpkgs a package.json file for each such package (to avoid IFD, see #296856 ).

I'm opening this issue before #318015 is ready / merged to refer to this issue in a small documentation I will perform there.

The following list was generated with:

env NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix eval --json -L --impure --expr '

  in builtins.map (pPath: let
      p = builtins.baseNameOf (builtins.dirOf pPath);
    in if builtins.hasAttr p pkgs then
      if builtins.hasAttr "maintainers" pkgs.${p}.meta then 
        "- [ ] `${p}`: ${builtins.concatStringsSep " " (builtins.map (m: "@${m.github}") pkgs.${p}.meta.maintainers)}"
      else 
        "- [ ] `${p}`: no maintainers found"
    else
      "- [ ] `${p}`: did not found attribute automatically, file is `${pPath}`"
  ) [
    '"$(git grep -l mkYarnPackage pkgs | while read p; do echo \"$p\"; done)"'
