Motivation for this change

A number of (old) Logitech devices have LCDs built-in and this adds support for them.

There are a number of dependencies which are all contained inside a single file. As the last releases of those dependencies were all more than 10 years ago and the hardware is no longer being produced, I didn't think it was worth it to pollute the the global attribute set.

This all works here but as I don't have all the hardware, it would be great if somebody else could try it out as well.

A few minor things to do:

  • split the package and the module into separate commits
  • write release note
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.

When trying to build this, my version of the config-write patch had the checksum 0jkrbqvzqrvxr14h5qi17cb4d32caq7vw9kzlz3qwpxdgxjrjvy2. It appears as if the patch function's url is not entirely stable.

Indeed. It's basically pointing at master in a git repository and if somebody changes anything, the checksum will change. This happens quite a lot with patches from Arch. It still beats maintaining it yourself though....
