applet-window-buttons: update for KDE 6

[dr460nf1r3]

Describe the bug

The current version of libsForQt5.applet-window-buttons is made for Qt5 and needs to be updated for usage with KDE 6 since it does not work anymore.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have applet active
2. Observe an error message that its not made for KDE 6

Expected behavior

The applet works.

Additional context

• There is already a PR to the main repo that fixes the application, Arch uses it to provide this applet for example. I'm using this myself and it works fairly well.
• Given the maintainer was inactive for a very long time, it is almost safe to assume that this PR won't be merged.
• The patch can be found here.

Excuse me?

[dr460nf1r3]

Sorry if this was the wrong thing to do 😅

[K900]

I am not the maintainer of libsForQt5.applet-window-buttons.

[dr460nf1r3]

Oh god, you are right 🫠 that's absolutely my bad. Sorry again.

I was able to get it running with:

{ lib, stdenv, fetchgit, cmake, extra-cmake-modules, kcolorscheme, kconfig
, kcoreaddons, kdecoration, ki18n, kirigami, kitemmodels, ksvg, libplasma
, plasma-workspace, qt6 }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "applet-window-buttons6";
  version = "0.13.0";

  src = fetchgit {
    #owner = "moodyhunter";
    #repo = "applet-window-buttons";
    url = "https://github.com/moodyhunter/applet-window-buttons6.git";
    rev = "326382805641d340c9902689b549e4488682f553";
    hash = "sha256-POr56g3zqs10tmCbKN+QcF6P6OL84tQNkA+Jtk1LUfY=";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [ cmake extra-cmake-modules qt6.wrapQtAppsHook ];

  buildInputs = [
    kcolorscheme
    kconfig
    kcoreaddons
    kdecoration
    ki18n
    kirigami
    kitemmodels
    ksvg
    libplasma
    plasma-workspace
    qt6.qtbase
    qt6.qtdeclarative
  ];

  meta = with lib; {
    description =
      "Plasma 6 applet in order to show window buttons in your panels";
    homepage = "https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons";
    license = licenses.gpl2Plus;
    maintainers = with maintainers; [ dotlambda ];
  };
}

Which can later be included like any other package (kdePackages.callPackage ./applet-window-buttons.nix { }). I'm new to nix and not sure if I did everything right (I also had issues using fetchGitHub) but I'll try to upsream this in the coming days.

Good stuff! I'm also quite new to nix and appreciate the effort you went through to make this module. It works for me with the exception of it always defaulting to "Always Visible" even when "visibility" is set to anything else in Plasma-Manager with overrideConfig enabled. Likely an issue with plasma-manager, but I'm not 100% sure.

[dotlambda]

Closing because it's unacceptable you assign others who aren't working on the issue.

[Leptopoda]

You are right that it was not ok from op to assign anyone but the issue is still there. Can someone please reopen it?

I too have this issue and hope that I'll get it fixed soon. Once I have more time and everything is working ok I'll make a PR to get it fixed upstream

@dotlambda The search lists you as the maintainer. Does this mean, this is not up to date anymore?

It is but that doesn't mean you can expect me to fix every issue with the package. Besides, someone being assigned means they are working on it which I'm not.

[ShalokShalom]

No expectations. ☺️

[Leptopoda]

@dotlambda can you please re open this issue so it is still tracked?
