In the last year `programs.oh-my-zsh` gained more complexity and since
the introduction of features like `customPkgs` which builds a
`ZSH_CUSTOM` path from a sequence of derivation a documentation may be
fairly helpful to make the knowledge how to use the module and how to
package new ZSH plugins visible.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410770432
If multiple third-party modules shall be used for `oh-my-zsh` it has to
be possible to create another env which composes all the packages.
Now it can be done like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.zsh.enable = true;
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh = {
enable = true;
customPkgs = with pkgs; [
lambda-mod-zsh-theme
nix-zsh-completions
];
theme = "lambda-mod";
plugins = [ "nix" ];
};
}
```
Please keep in mind that this is not compatible with
`programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom`, only one of these options can be used
ATM.
Each package should store its outputs into
`$out/share/zsh/<output-name>`. Completions (and ZSH-only) extensions
should live in the `fpath` (`$out/share/zsh/site-functions`), plugins in
`.../plugins` and themes in `.../themes` (please refer to
fdb6bf6ed68c2f089ae6c729dfeaa3eddea2ce6a and 406d64aad162b3a4881747be4e24705fb5182573).
All scripts in `customPkgs` will be linked together using `linkFarm` to
provide a single directory for all scripts from all derivations in
`customPkgs` as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410396365.
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
The `zsh-autosuggestions` package provides several configuration options
such as a different highlight style (like `fg=cyan` which is easier to
read).
With `rename.nix` the old `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions` is still
functional, but yields the following warning like this during evaluation:
```
trace: warning: The option `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `programs.zsh.autosuggestions.enable'.
```
The module provides the most common `zsh-autosuggestions` (highlight
style and strategy) as options that will be written into the interactive
shell init (`/etc/zshrc` by default). Further configuration options can
be declared using the `extraConfig` attr set:
```
{
programs.zsh.autosuggestions.extraConfig = {
"ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE" = "buffer_size";
};
}
```
A full list of available configuration options for `zsh-autosuggestions`
can be viewed here: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/v0.4.3/README.md
Adds programs.mosh.withUtempter (default: true).
The option enables -with-utempter for mosh, allowing it to write to
/var/run/utmp and thus making connected sessions appear in the output
of `who -a`.
For that, a guid-wrapper is required. Also, the path to the `utempter` was
hardcoded in the resulting binary until now (so it could never been found),
thus, libutempter was patched accordingly to point to
/run/wrappers/bin/utempter which at least works when the wrapper is
configured.
`xsslock` (which was originally packaged in 6cb1d1aaaf)
is a simple screensaver which connects a given screen locker (e.g.
`i3lock`) with `logind`. Whenever `loginctl lock-sessions` is invoked
the locker will be used to lock the screen. This works with its power
management features (e.g. `lid switch`) as well, so the PC can be locked
automatically when the lid is closed.
The module can be used like this:
```
{
services.xserver.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.lockerCommand = "i3lock";
}
```
Because it improves out-of-the-box user experience a lot (IMHO).
(zsh completion is already on by default.)
Remove "programs.bash.enableCompletion = true" from
nixos-generate-config.pl, which feels superflous now.
Expose the path to a lesskey file as a module option. This makes it
possible to maintain a single lesskey file, used for both NixOS and
non-nix systems. An example of how this can be done follows.
1. Write a derivation that fetches lesskey from a known location:
{ stdenv, fetchgit }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foo";
src = fetchgit { .. };
phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
installPhase = "mkdir -p $out && cp $src/lesskey $out/lesskey";
}
2. Set programs.less.configFile to the corresponding path:
programs.less = {
enable = true;
configFile = "${pkgs.foo}/lesskey";
};
This patch is heavily inspired by bd0d8ed807 which added
a setcap wrapper for `mtr` in order to allow running `mtr` without
`sudo`. The need for the capability `cap_net_raw` that can be registered using
`setcap` has been documented in the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Capabilities#iftop
A simple testcase has been added which starts two machines, one with a
setcap wrapper for `iftop`, one without. Both testcases monitor the
bandwidth usage of the machine using the options `-t -s 1` once, the
machine with setcap wrapper is expected to succeed, the `iftop` on the
machine without setcap wrapper is expected to return a non-zero exit
code.
Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):

pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
