wlroots.examples: prefix example binaries #49078
Conversation

Hm, I'll think about it tomorrow. The examples output isn't really meant to be added to systemPackages / end up in a user's PATH so I didn't worry about that but if someone would add it that would indeed cause problems (but they could also be avoided with meta.priority). But basically wlroots.examples is only intended for testing purposes and not to be actually "installed" (there probably shouldn't even be an output for it, but I thought it might be useful for testing purposes and in case we'll write NixOS tests at some point). |

Okay, I understand. I don't mind, either way. Now that I think about it, my primary use for it (idle-inhibit) has been replaced by a simpler sentinel-file/swayidle solution, anyway. Thanks for your time. |

Maybe add a switch to build the examples? It might be useful to not build it by default, but still have a way to build it if you really want to. |

Thank you and sorry for the delay :o |

The
wlrootsexamples are somewhat generically named. Can we prefix them, like I've done here?(For example, there is an example named
touch, which might pop up in unexpected, unfun ways)(Alternatively, we could prefix with
wlr-?Things done
