Update Nixpkgs

[edolstra]

Motivation

Context

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated platform packaging to use improved Boehm GC heap-growth behavior.
  • Removed an obsolete Boost compatibility adjustment from the build configuration.
  • Improved debug-information uploads by supporting .zst and .xz compressed archives.
  • Simplified packaging maintenance by relying on current upstream behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The packaging configuration updates Boehm GC and Boost settings. The debug information uploader adds .zst and .xz archive support and rejects unsupported formats.

Changes

Packaging updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Boehm GC and Boost packaging packaging/dependencies.nix	The Boehm GC override adds the tiny-freelists heap-growth patch and defines GC_TINY_FREELISTS=96. The Boost override no longer applies the forced-unwind patch.

Debug archive upload

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compressed debug archive extraction maintainers/upload-debug-info-to-sentry.py	The Nix environment includes xz and zstd. extract_debug_symbols selects a decompressor by extension, supports .zst and .xz, and rejects other formats.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 02002

The debug-info upload path can mask decompression failures or leave a subprocess unreaped, potentially resulting in incomplete debug artifacts or resource leaks; the change is localized and mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to propagate failures and clean up reliably.

- Line 88: Update the decompression flow around decompress.wait() to always
close and reap the decompressor in a finally block, propagate its nonzero status
before writing out_path, and ensure it is also reaped when nix nar cat fails.
Add regression tests covering decompressor failure and nix nar cat failure.
