This patch packages mu4e as an Emacs lisp package based on the mu4e
output of the multiple-output package mu, which makes mu4e a good
citizen of Emacs lisp packages in two aspects.
First, mu4e now utilizes the Emacs lisp package infrastructure in
Nixpkgs. This allows users who want to do AOT native compilation for
non-default Emacs variants[0] to build only mu4e itself instead of the
whole mu package[1].
Second, mu4e now conforms to the Emacs builtin package manager[2].
Without this patch, mu4e autoloaded commands do not work
out-of-the-box[3] because its directory is added to load-path by
site-start.el after the initialization of package-directory-list,
which causes package-activate-all to not load mu4e-autoloads.el. This
patch fixes this issue when mu4e is installed to Emacs using the
withPackages wrapper[4].
[0]: such as emacs-pgtk
[1]: mu.override { emacs = emacs-pgtk; }
[2]: package.el
[3]: either (require 'mu4e) or (require 'mu4e-autoloads) is needed to
be called before an autoloaded command is called
[4]: emacs-pgtk.pkgs.withPackages (epkgs: [ epkgs.mu4e ])
The free version of Aseprite has a maintained fork, LibreSprite which is
already packaged in nixpkgs. The only really useful version of Aseprite
vs LibreSprite is the unfree version, and the free version will never
receive updates.
password-store.el is on MELPA so it is available in Nixpkgs as
emacs.pkgs.password-store.
Using emacs.pkgs.password-store is preferred because of better package
quality:
- Emacs lisp package dependencies are automatically installed
- byte-compilation is done
- native-compilation is done
Use "$out/var/lib" as LOCALSTATEDIR configuration value
by default intsead of "/var/lib"
as a way toward top-level-directory independent runtime.
Add input argument externalLocalStateDir to optionally specify the
path to external LOCALSTATEDIR if not null.
Add NixOS module option
programs.singularity.enableExternalLocalStateDir (default to true)
to use "/var/lib" as LOCALSTATEDIR.
We should sometimes restart the units rather than reloading them so the
changes are actually applied. / and /nix are explicitly excluded because
there was some very old issue where these were unmounted. I don't think
this will affect many people since most people use fstab mounts instead
but I plan to adapt this behavior for fstab mounts as well in the future
(once I wrote a test for the fstab thingies).
