The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

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.
By default, awesome will use "devel" as a version name
(or `git describe`). This has led to awesome always
showing "devel" for its version.
Some extensions depend on version information to figure
out what features they can use.
This change overrides the version for the build from the
derivations' `version` attribute.
GitHub does a redirect to https:// when you use http://
repology complains with:
“Homepage link "https://github.com/…" is dead (HTTP error 404) for more than a month.”
This will fix some of them (not all though)
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
i3 loads its configuration from `~/.config/i3`, but in nix-based systems
you might want to build the config in `~/.nix-profile` using a nix
derivation, so `i3` needs to know where to look for the configuration
file.
Awesome can load SVG images, just like it can do PNG, through gdk.
The support for SVG images through GDK needs librvsg.
This commits adds the plumbing necessary in the wrapper that makes
awesome be able to load SVG images.
Without this, awesome will not load SVG images. The related error message is:
> Couldn't recognize the image file format for file
Which comes from gdk.
Contains changes that require updating user configs:
- command `compat' and the various def* compat commands were removed
- `msgwait', `rudeness', `startupmessage', `warp' are now variables

The SYSCONFDIR variable used in the Makefile servers two purposes:
1) During buildPhase, it is hardcoded into the executable as one of
the locations that will be searched for the i3blocks.conf config
file. We want this set to "/etc", so that "/etc/i3blocks.conf"
will be automatically loaded if it exists, as specified in the
manpage.
2) During installPhase, it specifies the location that the sample
i3blocks.conf should be installed to. We want this to be "$out/etc".
Case 2 was already handled correctly, but case 1 was not. This resulted
in i3blocks instead searching for i3blocks.conf in the default value of
SYSCONFDIR, which is "/usr/local/etc", a directory which generally does
not exist on NixOS. This commit remedies this problem by setting
SYSCONFDIR=/etc during buildPhase.
A minor stylistic fix (correcting a usage of "makeFlags" to "buildFlags"
in the expression) has also been applied in this commit.
