Add librepods: AirPods libreated from Apple's ecosystem.

https://github.com/kavishdevar/librepods

There is just one problem when running it.

qt.bluetooth.bluez: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN permission. Cannot determine whether a found address is of random or public type.

Running librepods as root is a workaround for this but

  1. I don't think you should need to run such an app as root
  2. it doesn't work with pactl

No problem, I really appreciate your patience.

There is just one thing from my side.
One one hand the program needs to be run as root for some bluetooth stuff to work but on the other hand pactl does not work as root. Also I don't think that the user should necessarily need to run this as root.

The nightly version showed some logs about CAP_NET_ADMIN being necessary here.
However enabling it on a copy of the binary (the one in ./result is read-only) with sudo setcap cap_net_admin+ep librepods does not help.

Is there a way we can set this in the package or is this something the user has to do?

You can write a nixos module to set security.wrappers

I now wrote a module and patched the autostart .desktop file because with the original path it failed to load QtQuick.Controls.
However I noticed that the path in the autostart file is not the path used when running librepods directly (which is /run/wrappers/wrappers.LUhfWBFYDz/librepods). This doesn't cause any problems beside the title bar not being fully white.

But it might be better to fix this upstream and to obtain the right path.

I didn't realise that this PR existed. Apologies for overstepping. I added the package because that's all that I needed but the module is a nice touch.

Tested it on my laptop with my AirPods Pro and it works. Just some last nitpicks before we can merge this.

I added the last two comments from the github mobile app yesterday and can't seem to resolve them. Sorry about that. The issue with light.nix being added has been resolved and the request to add me as a maintainer to the module was not a blocker from me to approve the PR.

I mean it makes sense for you to be a maintainer for the module, too
