Jan Tojnar 69698ec11c gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set (#29397)
* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set

GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.

This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.

Closes: #29329

* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory

Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.

This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.

nixos/xsession: use graphical systemd user target
While systemd suggests using the pre-defined graphical-session user
target, I found that this interface is difficult to use. Additionally,
no other major distribution, even in their unstable versions, currently
use this mechanism.

The window or desktop manager is supposed to run in a systemd user service
which activates graphical-session.target and the user services that are
binding to this target. The issue is that we can't elegantly pass the
xsession environment to the window manager session, in particular
whereas the PassEnvironment option does work for DISPLAY, it for some
mysterious reason won't for PATH.

This commit implements a new graphical user target that works just like
default.target. Services which should be run in a graphical session just
need to declare wantedBy graphical.target. The graphical target will be
activated in the xsession before executing the window or display manager.

Fixes #17858.

Michael Weiss 1273f414a7 display-managers: Fix the xsession parameters
The xsession script was called with inconsistent (depending on the
display managers) and wrong parameters. The main reason for this where
the spaces the parameter syntax. In order to fix this the old syntax:
$1 = '<desktop-manager> + <window-manager>'
Will be replaced with a new syntax:
$1 = "<desktop-manager>+<window-manager>"

This assumes that neither "<desktop-manager>" nor "<window-manager>"
contain the "+" character but this shouldn't be a problem.

This patch also fixes the quoting by using double quotes (") instead of
single quotes (') [0].

Last but not least this'll add some comments for the better
understanding of the script.

nixos/slim: Implement logging to journal
The main change here is a patch of SLiM to tread a log file of
/dev/stderr specially in that it now uses std::cerr instead of a file
for logging.

This allows us to set the logfile to stderr in NixOS for the generated
SLiM configuration file and we now get logging to the systemd journal.

Michael Weiss e1244f6e8a Revert "display-manager: fix argument handling of sddm"
This reverts commit 6b7c5ba535.

Unfortunately it seems like this broke slim, lightdm and gdm (see #25068
and #23264). This is already reverted in the 17.03 branch (99dfb6d).

TODO: We need tests for slim and lightdm and fix the test for gdm
(failing since 2016-10-26) to prevent such breakage in the future.

freetype: 2.6.5 -> 2.7.1
The Infinality bytecode interpreter is removed in favor of the new v40 TrueType
interpreter. In the past, the Infinality interpreter provided support for
ClearType-style hinting instructions while the default interpreter (then v35)
provided support only for original TrueType-style instructions. The v40
interpreter corrects this deficiency, so the Infinality interpreter is no longer
necessary.

To understand why the Infinality interpreter is no longer necessary, we should
understand how ClearType differs from TrueType and how the v40 interpreter
works. The following is a summary of information available on the FreeType
website [1] mixed with my own editorializing.

TrueType instructions use horizontal and vertical hints to improve glyph
rendering. Before TrueType, fonts were only vertically hinted; horizontal hints
improved rendering by snapping stems to pixel boundaries. Horizontal hinting is
a risk because it can significantly distort glyph shapes and kerning. Extensive
testing at different resolutions is needed to perfect the TrueType
hints. Microsoft invested significant effort to do this with its "Core fonts for
the Web" project, but few other typefaces have seen this level of attention.

With the advent of subpixel rendering, the effective horizontal resolution of
most displays increased significantly. ClearType eschews horizontal hinting in
favor of horizontal supersampling. Most fonts are designed for the Microsoft
bytecode interpreter, which implements a compatibility mode with
TrueType-style (horizontal and vertical) instructions. However, applying the
full horizontal hints to subpixel-rendered fonts leads to color fringes and
inconsistent stem widths. The Infinality interpreter implements several
techniques to mitigate these problems, going so far as to embed font- and
glyph-specific hacks in the interpreter. On the other hand, the v40 interpreter
ignores the horizontal hinting instructions so that glyphs render as they are
intended to on the Microsoft interpreter. Without the horizontal hints, the
problems of glyph and kerning distortion, color fringes, and inconsistent stem
widths--the problems the Infinality interpreter was created to solve--simply
don't occur in the first place.

There are also security concerns which motivate removing the Infinality patches.
Although there is an updated version of the Infinality interpreter for FreeType
2.7, the lack of a consistent upstream maintainer is a security concern. The
interpreter is a Turing-complete virtual machine which has had security
vulnerabilities in the past. While the default interpreter is used in billions
of devices and is maintained by an active developer, the Infinality interpreter
is neither scrutinized nor maintained. We will probably never know if there are
defects in the Infinality interpreter, and if they were discovered they would
likely never be fixed. I do not think that is an acceptable situtation for a
core library like FreeType.

Dropping the Infinality patches means that font rendering will be less
customizable. I think this is an acceptable trade-off. The Infinality
interpreter made many compromises to mitigate the problems with horizontal
hinting; the main purpose of customization is to tailor these compromises to the
user's preferences. The new interpreter does not have to make these compromises
because it renders fonts as their designers intended, so this level of
customization is not necessary.

The Infinality-associated patches are also removed from cairo. These patches
only set the default rendering options in case they aren't set though
Fontconfig. On NixOS, the rendering options are always set in Fontconfig, so
these patches never actually did anything for us!

The Fontconfig test suite is patched to account for a quirk in the way PCF fonts
are named.

The fontconfig option `hintstyle` is no longer configurable in NixOS. This
option selects the TrueType interpreter; the v40 interpreter is `hintslight` and
the older v35 interpreter is `hintmedium` or `hintfull` (which have actually
always been the same thing). The setting may still be changed through the
`localConf` option or by creating a user Fontconfig file.

Users with HiDPI displays should probably disable hinting and antialiasing: at
best they have no visible effect.

The fontconfig-ultimate settings are still available in NixOS, but they are no
longer the default. They still work, but their main purpose is to set rendering
quirks which are no longer necessary and may actually be
detrimental (e.g. setting `hintfull` for some fonts). Also, the vast array of
font substitutions provided is not an appropriate default; the default setting
should be to give the user the font they asked for.

nixos: provide default console_cmd for slim
This provides a default console_cmd for the slim display-manager.

When the user enters "console" as the user name, slim will run this
command.

Having a default is rather important; the virtual terminals don't work
with some display drivers, so having a broken X session can leave you
locked out of your machine.

nixos GDM: fix #19896
- As noted on github, GDM needs different parameters for X.
- Making xserverArgs a true list instead of concat-string helps to
  filter it and it feels more correct anyway.
- Tested: gdm+gnome, lightdm+gnome.  There seems to be no logout option
  in gnome, and gdm doesn't offer other sessions, but maybe these are normal.

display-managers module: improve variable quoting
Fixes #20713, though I'm certain nixpkgs contains loads of places
without proper quoting, as (ba)sh unfortunately encourages that.

The only plus side is that most of such problems in nixpkgs aren't
actually security problems but mere annoyance to those who are foolish
enough to use "weird" characters in critical names.

Peter Hoeg 639e5401ff dbus: add socket activation but do not enable it
The following changes are included:

1) install user unit files from upstream dbus
2) use absolute paths to config for --system and --session instances
3) make socket activation of user units configurable

There has been a number of PRs to address this, so this one does the
bare minimum, which is to make the functionality available and
configurable but defaults to off.
