This seems like a good idea in general and will at least make it easier
to get screen sharing to work (but still requires a proper NixOS
configuration including xdg-desktop-portal-wlr).
Note: It isn't necessary to set XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland as wlroots
already takes care of it (currently at least for the logind and libseat
session backends, the next wlroots release will require libseat):
4839664a92/backend/session/session.c (L80)
The default config.in template contains
"include @sysconfdir@/sway/config.d/*" but we've dropped it to better
support non-NixOS (which seems like a mistake in retrospect).
This restores that behaviour and extends the default configuration via
nixos.conf to fix#119445.
Note: The security configurations (security.d) where dropped entirely
(but maybe they'll return).
This adds a basic test for Sway. Because Sway is an important part of
the Wayland ecosystem, is stable, and has few dependencies this test
should also be suitable for testing core packages it depends on (e.g.
wayland, wayland-protocols, wlroots, xwayland, mesa, libglvnd, libdrm,
and soon libseat).
The test is modeled after the suggested way of using Sway, i.e. logging
in via a virtual console (tty1) and copying the configuration from
/etc/sway/config (we replace Mod4 (the GNU/Tux key - you've replaced
that evil logo, right? :D) with Mod1 (Alt key) because QEMU monitor's
sendkey command doesn't support the former).
The shell aliases are used to make the sendkey log output shorter.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
This is useful for use-cases like this (logging to journald):
```
programs.sway.extraSessionCommands = ''
if [ -z "$_SWAY_DID_SYSTEMD_CAT" ]; then
export _SWAY_DID_SYSTEMD_CAT=1
exec ${config.systemd.package}/bin/systemd-cat -t sway "$0" "$@"
fi
# ... (potentially also another exec)
'';
```
Without this change the rest of the extraSessionCommands won't be
executed after the exec since the whole extraSessionCommands block would
be skipped during the re-execution (_SWAY_WRAPPER_ALREADY_EXECUTED is
already set).
Idea shamelessly stolen from 4e60b0efae.
I realized that I don't really know anymore where I'm listed as maintainer and what
I'm actually (co)-maintaining which means that I can't proactively take
care of packages I officially maintain.
As I don't have the time, energy and motivation to take care of stuff I
was interested in 1 or 2 years ago (or packaged for someone else in the
past), I decided that I make this explicit by removing myself from several
packages and adding myself in some other stuff I'm now interested in.
I've seen it several times now that people remove themselves from a
package without removing the package if it's unmaintained after that
which is why I figured that it's fine in my case as the affected pkgs
are rather low-prio and were pretty easy to maintain.
This change will load all configuration files from /etc, to make it easy
to override them, but fallback to /nix/store/.../etc/sway/config to make
Sway work out-of-the-box with the default configuration on non NixOS
systems.
This commit contains the following changes:
- nixos/sway: Remove the beta references
- sway: Drop buildDocs
- nixos/sway: Improve the documentation
- sway,nixos/sway: Adapt Sway to NixOS
- Copy the default configuration file to /etc/sway/config (Sway will
still load the identical file from the Nix store but this makes it
easier to copy the default configuration file).
- This will also remove all references to the Nix store from the
default configuration file as they will eventually be garbage
collected which is a problem if the user copies it.
- I've also decided to drop the default wallpaper (alternatively we
could copy it to a fixed location).
- nixos/sway: Drop the package option
