Let folks try xi-editor (`xi-core`) and various front-ends. #48593

dtzWill · 2018-10-16T22:19:37Z

They're all WIP (as in "upstream is still working towards a release") but
having them packaged makes it easier to get started and see what it's about.

Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
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 nox --run "nox-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)
Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

cc NixOS#32713 Based on initial packaging work by @ayyjayess.

Not sure if there's a place to put this that'll be automagically discovered when needed, so skip for now.

Build failure seems unrelated, at least I sure hope so! Snippet:

undefined variable 'xenPackages' at /var/lib/ofborg/checkout/repo/38dca4e3aa6bca43ea96d2fcc04e8229/mr-est/eval-0-gleber.ewr1.nix.ci/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:19705:9

EDIT: Nope I somehow dropped xenPackages when putting this together :3 😇

Just curious, any frontend you would recommand ? How do they fare compared to neovim ones ? (like www.onivim.io for instance)

dtzWill · 2018-10-17T04:47:50Z

I'm new to them all-- packaged them so I could try them myself :). My impression after very brief use is that I don't know that any of them are ready for contending as your primary editor just yet. Couldn't say how far that is, I expect the looking at the xi-mac frontend would give the best picture. I believe there are a few talks and videos that might shed more light on things, but haven't looked through them myself.

It also seems to be more a research project then something people would actually use.

Mic92 · 2018-10-17T10:10:50Z

I also tried to package oni, but it was still crashing on startup for me: https://github.com/Mic92/nur-packages/blob/master/pkgs/oni/default.nix

teto · 2018-10-17T10:50:07Z

@Mic92 the overlay at #38231 (comment) works for me to install/run oni. The only problem is if you configure vim with nix, then oni won't get wrapped.
If it's that bad, maybe xi-frontends should go to NUR meanwhile.

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/xi/plugins $ nix build nixpkgs.xi-core.syntect -o ~/.config/xi/plugins/xi Creates 'xi-syntect' link, producing working syntax highlighting! (so far only seen it working in kod using rust source, not sure)

dtzWill · 2018-10-17T18:29:23Z

Hmm, okay I'll move to my nur repo instead then ^_^.

dtzWill · 2018-10-17T18:33:30Z

(thanks for the good suggestion!)
