Motivation for this change

VCV Rack is distributed for Linux platforms as a source or binary tarball with no desktop entry. Because it is a desktop application, I have created a desktop item for it here.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Sorry, something went wrong.

I can't easily see the resulting Desktop Items as I'm using i3 as my wm, but the source of the changes looks good.

@ddelabru this PR looks good, though there are merge conflicts now. Could you address them please? BTW, tip: To avoid such merge conflicts, using 1 item per list in the arguments of buildInputs and in the arguments at the beginning of the expression helps a lot.
