Why do we check this here?
How can a user of the module redefine usersGroup by accident? 😕

Thanks, @flokli, for the review and your suggestions. I updated my branch accordingly. Regarding the group name check, I'm just used to adding lots of assertions to catch any mismatches. I removed it. I also rebased on current |
Barco ClickShare is a wireless presentation system where a USB dongle transmits to a base station that is connected with a beamer. Note that this package also contains a udev rule file to grant access to the dongle if connected. Access is limited to a group "clickshare" (the name may be altered by package options).

Probably we should add a line that users need to be added to the clickshare group to be able to use it.

Done (I hope the interpunctation of mkEnableOption adds up correctly in the documentation).
The clickshare-csc1 package brings a udev rule file to grant access to the ClickShare dongle if connected. This module provides an option to install that rule file. Only users in the "clickshare" users group have access.

@Yarny0 , I can't really test this (as I don't have the hardware around), but I assume you did :-) |

Thanks! |

For the record: Most of my tests happened on the release-19.03 branch and on a NixOS 19.03 machine. Once I also built it on top of the unstable branch and successfully used the binaries, also on a NixOS 19.03 machine, however. So the only thing I never tested is whether the udev rule recognizes the dongle on the unstable branch. But I'm optimistic about that :-) Thanks for your help and all your efforts, @flokli !! |
Motivation for this change
Let NixOS users share their desktops with Barco's ClickShare dongles during presentations etc. See the package's description and Barco's homepage for more information on the technology.
