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).

python*Packages.sigrok is a version of libsigrok which additionally
builds its python bindings. Sadly bindings and package don't seem to be
buildable independently of each other without a lot of patching.
The main thing we need to do is patch Makefile.am to pass
--single-version-externally-managed, so the installed sigrok module ends
up in PYTHONPATH properly.
For splicing to work, callPackage needs to be able to attach extra
attributes (e. g. nativeDrv) to pkgsHostTarget.mandoc. If we have the
assert like before, pkgsHostTarget.mandoc would fail to evaluate,
preventing buildPackages.mandoc (which works as expected) to be attached
to the former. This affected cross compilation of the netbsd package set
in particular.
isCompatible concerns itself with architecture compatibility which does
not constitute executability by itself, since there are other key
factors like the Kernel/syscall interface targeted. As mode switching is
considered compatible (e.g. ppc64le and ppc64), we can't even use
isCompatible to establish the architecture subset of executability.
For the lack of a better alternative, we'll just compare the system
tuples for now which will loose us support for x86_64-linux ->
i686-linux, but this is probably a bearable consequence.
