fix: Update flake to fix failing build

[detroyejr]

I've been meaning to try out polars for a while and was pleased to see a flake available. Things didn't build on first run, so I made a few updates to get this working again.

1. nix flake update.
2. cargo update -p ahash - This was the main reason for the build failure. Some recent changes to ahash seems to have broken this and several other libraries. I left all other dependencies alone.
3. Add a patchPhase with patchShebangs ./configure.

One question: in the current main branch, polars is not included as a package dependency in the custom renv. A downstream version of this repo did include it but it was removed at some point. I'm wondering if that was omitted on purpose or if that should be added back like so:

          packages = with pkgs.rPackages; [ devtools languageserver renv rextendr rpolars ];

Without it, I cannot run nix develop github:pola-rs/r-polars and get a working version of R with polars available.

Tested with nix develop github:detroyejr/r-polars. Once everything builds R -e 'packageVersion("polars")' returns 0.14.0.9000. The example from the README also works.

Thank you for your contribution. renv is not currently in use and can be removed.

@Sicheng-Pan Could you take a look at this?

[Sicheng-Pan]

Thanks a lot for the patch! The reason I did not add rpolars as a dependency in the devshell is because (from my understanding) Nix does not cache the intermediate build cache for Rust, so if made changes to the code I need to re-compile from scratch, which is really painful for me when I develop. So for simplicity I choose to use devtools in R to compile the code in the devshell, and it will automatically load the library when it finishes. devtools also helps to build the docs and perform sanity checks, and I'm unsure if it can be replaced by some Nix script. If devtools are no longer needed then I believe that the "proper" approach could be using something like crane to speed up the compilation a bit, and in that case we could put rpolars as a dependency in the devshell.

@detroyejr Also it's been a while since I last updated the flake lock, so feel free to update it there is no conflict!

[detroyejr]

That makes sense. I've removed that from the renv.

The flake lock is updated and I didn't see any issues.

The CI failure of macos-14 is came from the image update actions/runner-images#9394

[Sicheng-Pan]

@eitsupi Just to confirm the renv R package is no longer a dependency for the project right? If that is the case it could also be removed from the flake.

Just to confirm the renv R package is no longer a dependency for the project right?

Yes, see #586
I removed it because it looked like no one was using it.

[detroyejr]

Got it. Removed the renv package from the flake as well.

[eitsupi]

Could you please pull in the main branch?
#832 should fix the CI failure.

[Sicheng-Pan]

Thanks for the help!

Thanks, we are freezing the Rust side in preparation for the 0.14.1 release and will merge it after the 0.14.1 release.
