Gnome nixpkgs documention doesn't explain manual wrapping #73091

Open worldofpeace opened 4 years ago

worldofpeace commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug People would like to know clearly how to wrap manually using wrapGAppsHook.

It would need to simply explain to use dontWrapGApps = true and to use wrapGApp. We sort of explain this in the FAQ section, but it could be better if this was in the main content.

Qt documentation has a similar explanation

https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-language-qt

Set dontWrapQtApps to stop applications from being wrapped automatically. It is required to wrap applications manually with wrapQtApp, using the syntax of wrapProgram executable makeWrapperArgs :

And a code example.

Thank you for your contributions. This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days. If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity. Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
