conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
make (almost) all links appear on only a single line, with no
unnecessary whitespace, using double quotes for attributes. this lets us
automatically convert them to markdown easily.
the few remaining links are extremely long link in a gnome module, we'll
come back to those at a later date.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
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).

Most programs already run natively under Wayland so extraSessionCommands
isn't as important anymore. XWayland is already covered by
"programs.xwayland.enable = mkDefault true;" in the module.
This should make it easier to get started.
The xdg-desktop-portal backend for wlroots is required and one needs to
"make sure WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP are imported into
D-Bus." [0]

The default config.in template contains
"include @sysconfdir@/sway/config.d/*" but we've dropped it to better
support non-NixOS (which seems like a mistake in retrospect).
This restores that behaviour and extends the default configuration via
nixos.conf to fix#119445.
Note: The security configurations (security.d) where dropped entirely
(but maybe they'll return).
If no display manager is enabled this will not make any difference, but
if a Wayland compatible display manager like SDDM is enabled, a session
for Sway will be available. Therefore it does make sense to enable this
by default.
This adds the display manager integration mentioned in #57602.
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 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
* bemenu: init at 2017-02-14
* velox: 2015-11-03 -> 2017-07-04
* orbment, velox: don't expose subprojects
the development of orbment and velox got stuck
their subprojects (bemenu, dmenu-wayland, st-wayland) don't work correctly outside of parent projects
so hide them to not confuse people
swc and wld libraries are unpopular and unlike wlc are not used by anything except velox
* pythonPackages.pydbus: init at 0.6.0
* way-cooler: 0.5.2 -> 0.6.2
* nixos/way-cooler: add module
* dconf module: use for wayland
non-invasive approach for #31293
see discussion at #32210
* sway: embed LD_LIBRARY_PATH for #32755
* way-cooler: switch from buildRustPackage to buildRustCrate #31150
