It was basically just a `environment.systemPackages` synonym,
only GNOME used it, and it was stretching the responsibilities
of the flatpak module too far.
It also makes it cleaner to avoid installing the program
using GNOME module’s `excludePackages` option.

(It was requested by them.)
I left one case due to fetching from their personal repo:
pkgs/desktops/pantheon/desktop/extra-elementary-contracts/default.nix
The upstream pipewire config is written in an almost, but not quite
JSON format. The parser accepts standard JSON, though, so we don't
need to write our file in the same nonstandard version.
The typing for all config options is changed from `types.attrs`, which
behaves poorly when the option is set from multiple locations, to the
formats.json-type.
Also, rewrite some very long one-liners for improved readability.
This release replaces the libpulseaudio shim with a pipewire module that acts as a fake pulseaudio server along with a systemd service that loads that module on demand.
This adds basically an indirection to systemPackages
to automatically install an interface for flatpak for their respective
environments. e.g if I enable pantheon and flatpak you'll get appcenter,
and on gnome you'll see gnome-software.

This splits PulseAudio and JACK emulation into separate outputs. Doing
so provides a number of benefits.
First it fixes pw-pulse and pw-jack. Prior to this they pointed to bogus
locations because the environment variables were not evaluated.
Technically fixing this only requires setting libpulse-path and
libjack-path to any absolute path not necessarily separate outputs but
it comes as a nice result.
Secondly it allows overriding libpulseaudio with pipewire.pulse in many
packages. This is possible because the new outputs have a more standard
layout.
This adds two tests. One is for whether the paths used by the module are
present, while the other is for testing functionality of PipeWire
itself. This is done with the recent addition of installed tests by
upstream.
This allows for transparent JACK and PulseAudio emulation. With this you
can essentially replace your entire audio framework with just PipeWire
for almost no configuration.
The Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) is not yet fully packaged in
nixpkgs and it has shown a very difficult task to complete, as
discussed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/94870. The
conclusion is that it is better to completely remove it.
* Update: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pwithnall/malcontent/-/releases/0.8.0
* Fix the separation patch.
* Add `itstool` to ui (needed for building localized help).
* Use `pkg-config` instead of the `pkgconfig` alias.
* Fix some issues related to multiple outputs:
* Make the module pass specific output to `dbus.packages` since the `dbus` NixOS module will not generate configuration with correct interface paths otherwise.
* Change `malcontent-ui` package to primarily-a-program type derivation (`out`+`lib` instead of `bin`+`out`) since there are more and more `malcontent-control`-specific assets.
* This also fixes the issue where application data (desktop files, icons…) were installed to `out`, which is not installed by `environment.systemPackages`/`system-path.nix`’s `buildEnv` by default when `bin` output is also present.
* Make `malcontent` package install `out` output too so that `system-path.nix` links that too. It contains the AccountsService & Polkit data files.
* Split the library and PAM module out of `malcontent.out` so that they are not installed with the data files.
* This revealed a bug in the `gobject-introspection` setup hook.
- spawn the geoclue-agent directly instead of running it via bash
- document why we cannot use DynamicUser = true
- have systemd create the home directory instead of using an explicit
tmpfiles.d fragment
GNOME initial setup's run is conditioned on whether
the gnome-initial-setup-done file exists in XDG_CONFIG_HOME
Because of this, every existing user will have initial setup
running because they never ran it before.
To prevent this we create the file if the users stateVersion
is older than 20.03 (the release we added this module).
Also drop uneeded manual conflicts as systemd.packages
does handle this.
Since we moved gsettings-desktop-schemas to top-level, gnome3.glib-networking was the same as glib-networking.
We could try to make the top-level variant not depend on gsettings-desktop-schemas again but that is probably
pointless, as the dependency is rather small compared to things like libproxy. Instead, we will just drop
the package in gnome3 attr set and always rely on the top-level expression.
