When installing a fresh NixOS system it occasionally happens that you
encounter issues that are rather hard to track down since
`nixos-install(8)` doesn't provide any debugging flags.
This patch adds `-L` to force `nix build` to display the build-log on
stderr and `-v` to increase the log-level of Nix.
While it's a good idea to automate the linting of the python code used
for our tests, I think that it can be quite distracting when hacking on
a NixOS test.
I figured that it might be more convenient to add an option as a
shortcut for this to avoid that everyone needs to dig into the test
driver again.
In hopes of working around
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60845. This fetches a gz archive
instead of xz and also fetches the archive from a different source,
hopefully avoiding the issue (whatever ist is caused by).
In addition to that, I think that building directly from VCS is
generally cleaner and more flexible for the following reasons:
- It cuts out and unnecessary middle step.
- It makes sure the version users install is equal to the version users
may have vetted.
- It makes it easy to develop patches or bisect changes by simply
checking out a different rev.
- It avoids using upstream-provided "binary" artifacts like those
generated by autotools.
This version is not yet released. However given that python2 will soon
go end-of-life (without security updates), this seems like a good move.
The package was also lacking proper qt wrapping and unusable before.
Wingpanel was designed firstly as an indicator renderer,
and as such just a container for indicators that are distributed
outside itself. Being able to control which and each indicator with
`indicators` is confusing, ideally each of the default indicators
would be shipped with wingpanel itself. I don't see how this
kind of extensibility would be useful to a user so we're going
to append to the expected defaults. The `useDefaultIndicators`
argument is there to development test a single indicator/s.
Also cleanup a bit, we enabled gnome-settings-daemon even when using elementary-settings-daemon.
I wanted the nixos module ascribe the defaults, not these lists in pkgs.
