I build a package for it:
(define-module (x220-hwdb)
#:use-module (guix packages)
#:use-module (guix download)
#:use-module (gnu packages compression)
#:use-module (guix build-system copy)
#:use-module (guix licenses))
(define-public x220-hwdb
(package
(name "x220-hwdb")
(version "1.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri
"https://github.com/spiderbit/emacs-ergo-thinkpad-kb-layout/archive/master.zip")
(sha256
(base32
"0rx791b7mq5visa9ckyf7py4lz5ml51hn4mzz4rmlpnlrcds4x8v"))))
(build-system copy-build-system)
(inputs `(("unzip" ,unzip)))
(synopsis "Bla")
(description "Bla bla bla")
(home-page "https://www.gnu.org/blablabla")
(license gpl3+)))
and tried to link it to the expected location:
(service special-files-service-type
`(("/etc/udev/hwdb.d/90-X220-keyboard.hwdb"
,(file-append x220-hwdb "90-X220-keyboard.hwdb"))))
the problem is that the hwdb is compiled but read only, so the file must
basically be there before the eudev package builds this db.
Is there a better way doing this?
