Motivation for this change

BeeGFS is a fantastic high performance file system. However, after running it for a few months last year the meta data daemon kept crashing randomly in production use (support from the manufacturer requires a paid support contract). The current version that is nixpkgs is outdated and I don not want to maintain it any longer. The build system is purely based on make file and is hard to maintain.

Things done

Mark beegfs as broken.

Removed the following items:

  • the main package
  • the kernel module
  • nixos module
  • tests
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

If this gets completely removed, I'd like to have a mkRemovedOptionModule (or two actually, one for the enable option and one for the others), and a throw for the package.

@volth good point. My first though was to clean it up but maybe it is better to just mark it broken and remove it in a later release.
