Mininet (https://github.com/mininet/mininet) is a popular network emulator that
glues several components such as network namespaces, traffic control
commands into a set of python bindings. It is then "easy" to describe a
topology and run experiments on it.
Rootston is just a reference compositor so it doesn't make that much
sense to have a module for it. Upstream doesn't really like it as well:
"Rootston will never be intended for downstream packages, it's an
internal thing we use for testing." - SirCmpwn [0]
Removing the package and the module shouldn't cause much problems
because it was marked as broken until
886131c243. If required the package can
still be accessed via wlroots.bin (could be useful for testing
purposes).

This patch uses the library function `lib.escapeShellArg` to improve
the handling of shell aliases in the NixOS module `bash`, copying the
corresponding change made to the `zsh` module in commit
1e211a70cb (for which GitHub pull
request #47471 was filed).
This patch resolves GitHub issue #16973.
This change presumably also should be copied to the `fish` module, but
I don't know `fish` syntax so that won't be done by me.
GitHub: CloseNixOS/nixpkgs#16973.
The init script slightly differs depending on which shell is in use.
So for bash it should be in the interactiveShellInit as well.
In this case we don't need a mkIf as `bash` is enabled by default
on NixOS.
Previously single quotes were used by default for aliases and the module
never warned about possible collisions when having a shell alias which
relies on single quotes.
Adding `escapeShellArg` works around this fixes the issue and ensures that a
properly quoted value is written to `/etc/zshrc`.
The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains
several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master
build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use
`yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it).
In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by
simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent
master).
To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now
defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several
linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`.
The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually
starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a
screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM.
Fixes#46899
Some programs like eog seem to need dconf accessible on dbus.
Without this change I get
(eog:1738): dconf-WARNING **: 21:20:52.770: failed to commit changes to
dconf: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
ca.desrt.dconf was not provided by any .service files
A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
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...
