Motivation for this change
When working on a headless server, it is convenient to disable installation of graphical frontends via a single configuration setting. I've only found
noXlibs
to do that, so I've enriched it with a bunch of package overrides.Note that it may not be a good idea to have
noXlibs
depend on app derivations. Maybe a better way is to invert the dependency: feed anoXlibs
flag to app derivations so that they can decide what to disable.Things done
Please check what applies. Note that these are not hard requirements but mereley serve as information for reviewers.
