According to xsecurelock's configure.ac file, each of the add dependencies are used to: - libXrandr: XRandR provides information about monitor layouts and is strongly recommended on systems which can use more than one monitor (which includes most laptops). - libXext: The X Synchronization extension is used to get per-device idle times. Used by until_nonidle only. - libXScrnSaver: The X11 Screen Saver extension is used to turn off the screen saver when X11 handles screen blanking (e.g. via timeout) anyway. Saves CPU power. Adding libXrandr fixes an issue where locking a screen in a multi monitor setup results in the prompt information to not be in the middle of the screen. The other dependencies are not tested if they fixed something, however since upstream recommends than I think it is fair to include them also.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
