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.

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
This is the result of executing:
git mv -f pkgs/applications/window-managers/sway/beta.nix pkgs/applications/window-managers/sway/default.nix
git mv -f nixos/modules/programs/sway-beta.nix nixos/modules/programs/sway.nix
And removing sway-beta from the following files:
pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix
nixos/modules/module-list.nix
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl
diffpdf: fixup
* bemenu: init at 2017-02-14
* velox: 2015-11-03 -> 2017-07-04
* orbment, velox: don't expose subprojects
the development of orbment and velox got stuck
their subprojects (bemenu, dmenu-wayland, st-wayland) don't work correctly outside of parent projects
so hide them to not confuse people
swc and wld libraries are unpopular and unlike wlc are not used by anything except velox
* pythonPackages.pydbus: init at 0.6.0
* way-cooler: 0.5.2 -> 0.6.2
* nixos/way-cooler: add module
* dconf module: use for wayland
non-invasive approach for #31293
see discussion at #32210
* sway: embed LD_LIBRARY_PATH for #32755
* way-cooler: switch from buildRustPackage to buildRustCrate #31150
Unfortunately wlc 0.0.10 seems to be the cause for segfaults on sway,
way-cooler and orbment.
This will also build wlc with all optional packages (i.e. zlib,
valgrind and doxygen).
While the last wlc upgrade (05d79c03ec)
makes it possible to build sway 0.14.0 it also breaks the current build
of sway 0.13.0.
Unfortunately sway 0.14.0 segfaults on launch and I couldn't fix it yet
(there are multiple upstream issues as well). I'll overwrite the wlc
version for sway in order to have a usable version in nixpkgs for the
meantime.
Building the manual requires docbook_xsl; in sandboxed environments,
the build would fail due to being unable to download missing docbook
resources.
Also include some minor improvements to the build recipe:
- use fetchFromGitHub
- move build-time dependencies to nativeBuildInputs
