This change will load all configuration files from /etc, to make it easy
to override them, but fallback to /nix/store/.../etc/sway/config to make
Sway work out-of-the-box with the default configuration on non NixOS
systems.
This commit partly reinstates changes from 5465d6f that had been somehow
reverted in 17d3eb2. Also, a comment has been added in the hope that future
changes won't do the same.
Additionally, refactor the LUA_PATH env var to ensure that the internal lgi lua
files can't be required explicitly and to avoid possible name clashes (this
fixes issue #60232).
Finally, rather than using prepending `?.lua` append `;;` to LUA_PATH. Quoting
@psychon:

Testing done:
- Build with `nix-build -I /path/to/repo -A awesome`
- Start an X session with xterm only
- Start xephyr, e.g. `Xephyr :1 -name xephyr -screen 512x384 -ac -br -noreset &`
- Run awesome like `DISPLAY=:1.0 ./result/bin/awesome`. Additionally, add
`--search` options to expose lua modules that have a name clash with lgi's
internal ones (see #60232 for more details) and `require` them in `rc.lua` to
prove that they are loaded correctly
This commit contains the following changes:
- nixos/sway: Remove the beta references
- sway: Drop buildDocs
- nixos/sway: Improve the documentation
- sway,nixos/sway: Adapt Sway to NixOS
- Copy the default configuration file to /etc/sway/config (Sway will
still load the identical file from the Nix store but this makes it
easier to copy the default configuration file).
- This will also remove all references to the Nix store from the
default configuration file as they will eventually be garbage
collected which is a problem if the user copies it.
- I've also decided to drop the default wallpaper (alternatively we
could copy it to a fixed location).
- nixos/sway: Drop the package option
This is the result of executing:
git mv -f pkgs/applications/window-managers/sway/beta.nix pkgs/applications/window-managers/sway/default.nix
git mv -f nixos/modules/programs/sway-beta.nix nixos/modules/programs/sway.nix
And removing sway-beta from the following files:
pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix
nixos/modules/module-list.nix
