Many packages have some kind of flag indicating whether or not to build with
systemd support. Most of these default to `stdenv.isLinux`, but systemd does
not build on (and is marked `broken` for) `isStatic`. Only a few packages have
the needed `&& !isStatic` in the default value for their parameter.
This commit moves the logic for the default value of these flags into
`systemd.meta.{platforms,badPlatforms}` and evaluates those conditions using
`lib.meta.availableOn`.
This provides three benefits:
1. The default values are set correctly (i.e. including `&& isStatic`)
2. The default values are set consistently
3. The way is paved for any future non-Linux systemd platforms (FreeBSD is
reported to have experimental systemd support)
Note: I DO NOT resign from nixpkgs, not at all!
However, I like a clean notification inbox and I get a lot of stuff for
packages where I'm only an end-user or don't use them anymore and thus
can't help out that much.
So please consider it a measure to reduce the mental load for me when
going through my notifications ;-)
strictDeps breaks `withGtkWrapper` as, it seems, the setup hook does not
run and `GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_PATH` does not get set so `XDG_DATA_DIRS` is
not updated. Probably other things are broken by it as well. See also
probably related https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/56943
(mentioned from `doc/languages-frameworks/gnome.section.md`).
This partially reverts commit da4707d636.
Sway can be compiled with or without systemd(-logind) and dbus. This
commit exposes that support via the global systemdSupport and
dbusSupport arguments, which are understood by many other nixpkgs
expressions and can be set globally in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
This commit also adds a third argument, trayEnabled, which allows to
disable sway's tray. The tray requires dbusSupport and
systemdSupport.
Reviewers of this commit asked for potential use cases. There are
many of them; a very non-exhaustive list includes:
* Use of nixpkgs on operating systems which systemd does not support,
such as MacOS/Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or Alpine Linux.
* Use of nixpkgs on *-musl platforms, which systemd does not
officially support (out-of-tree patches to support musl exist for a
few systemd versions).
* Use of sway in situations where dbus is inappropriate, such as
sway's "kiosk mode".
* High-security environments, where the additional attack surface
exposed by dbus outweighs any features it may offer.
This is a very non-exhaustive list.
This commit exposes support for compilation without systemd,
controlled by the global systemdSupport argument. This argument is
understood by many other nixpkgs expressions and can be set globally
in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
Release notes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.7
Notable (backward incompatible) changes:
- The default terminal changed from Alacritty to foot
Known issues:
- `swaynag` will crash when Sway 1.6.1 is still running while the Nix
package (and thus `swaynag`) is already updated to version 1.7.
- The experimental Ozone/Wayland support of Electron apps will be broken
for a while. Electron version 17 should work but the Chromium fixes
haven't yet been backported to Electron version 16.
NixOS module: programs.sway.extraPackages: The "alacritty" package was
replaced with "foot".
VM test: We switched from the OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer to Pixman. The
terminal was also changed to foot but Alacritty is still used for the
XWayland test (since foot doesn't support X11).
