Getting awesome-git

When I was moving from XMonad to AwesomeWM I found out that the setup I was trying to replicate needed the git version of Awesome for using the ruled module.

Here is the solution:

WARNING

Make sure to replace version with the latest git commit number. You can leave hash empty and when you rebuild the system it will print an error with the correct hash, just input that and rebuild again.

configuration.nix

nix
xserver.windowManager.awesome = {
    enable = true;
    package = pkgs.awesome.overrideAttrs (old: {
        version = "1f7ac8f9c7ab9fff7dd93ab4b29514ff3580efcf";
        src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
            owner = "awesomeWM";
            repo = "awesome";
            rev = version;
            hash = "sha256-D5CTo4FvGk2U3fkDHf/JL5f/O1779i92UcRpPn+lbpw=";
        };
        patches = [];
        postPatch = ''
            patchShebangs tests/examples/_postprocess.lua
        '';
    });
};
