Nixpkgs: Request: Update alacritty to 0.2.0

[utdemir]

Hi.

I wanted to use the new scrollback support on alacritty, however the nix package isn't updated yet.

I would update it myself, but it refers on a custom GitHub repository with a patch applied, so I couldn't.

It is being worked on see:

• https://logs.nix.samueldr.com/nixos-dev/2018-09-17#1537203127-1537203825;
• https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/46362#issuecomment-420537631

I also added the 0.2.0 release now to staging https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/91b67af0f6657049ec59d226c0dda0dbacf6b291

[utdemir]

Oh, I'm sorry that I missed it.

Thank you @jtojnar and @Mic92 . Thank you for your work.

Have a nice day.

There's a successful build from staging here

To try it out:

$ nix-store -r /nix/store/18591805zyc6l8p5h2ifzd574fqxiihk-alacritty-0.2.0
$ /nix/store/18591805zyc6l8p5h2ifzd574fqxiihk-alacritty-0.2.0/bin/alacritty

Scrollback is working well :D

Any chance this can be backported to the nixos-18.09 channel?

[Mic92]

The backport would probably still require my fork. But I am inclined to do so because many people already tried to reach me to update this package.
