These are all packages that I stopped using and hence just create noise
in my inbox for each change affecting them and let's face it, while I
still enjoy contributing to nixpkgs, it doesn't really make sense to be
listed there if I can't do much anyways.
Each of these packages can be taken over by someone or removed if
people think that's reasonable.
Of course, if other maintainers face issues, I can answer some questions
if needed & possible.
This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains
several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master
build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use
`yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it).
In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by
simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent
master).
To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now
defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several
linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`.
The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually
starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a
screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM.
Fixes#46899
To make the configuration of `yabar` more pleasant and easier to
validate, a NixOS module will be quite helpful.
An example config could look like this:
```
{
programs.yabar = {
enable = true;
bars.top.indicators.exec = "YA_DATE";
};
}
```
The module adds a user-controlled systemd service which runs `yabar` after
starting up X.
