pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
@the-kenny did a good job in the past and is set as maintainer in many package,
however since 2017-2018 he stopped contributing. To create less confusion
in pull requests when people try to request his feedback, I removed him as
maintainer from all packages.
If dropbox can't load libappindicator, it will fallback to using the old
xembed protocol. If you (or your Desktop Environment) are running
something like KDE's XEmbed SNI Proxy, then you'll at least see an icon,
but clicking the icon won't give you menu.
Adding libappindicator to the env allows dropbox to fully integrate with
contemporary status trays, while still falling back to xembed if the
required DBus service is not present.
…since this is actually dropbox-nautilus project.
In one of the previous updates, the source code responsible for finding dropboxd
was changed, rendering our sed replacement not working. That triggered the installer
which in turn failed on the unavailability of gobject-introspection typelibs. And
when that was fixed, we got bitten by our lazy packaging putting a broken code
into the installer.
This is a proper fix for all the issues, except for making typelibs available to
the installer since we shall use Nix instead.
To sign in to dropbox, a browser must be available in the FHS env. We cannot
ensure that the user's browser of choice is available, so we provide Firefox as
a default.

Instead of adapting Dropbox to NixOS with patchelf, NixOS is adapted to Dropbox
with an FHS user environment. A crash due to missing libXert (#15356) is
fixed. The client's automatic updater is fixed; this obviates the need to
update Dropbox in Nixpkgs every time the client is updated upstream!
