deltatouch: init at 1.4.0

[link2xt]

Description of changes

This is an initial commit for DeltaTouch Delta Chat client.
It is a Delta Chat client for Ubuntu Touch, available at OpenStore.

Things done

Built on x86_64-linux (Arch Linux with Nix installed via Determinate Nix Installer).

Having correct icons requires installing qt5ct in the profile and selecting "suru" icon theme.
Tested by running:

$ nix profile install nixpkgs#qt5ct nixpkgs#lomiri.suru-icon-theme
$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
$ qt5ct # select Suru icon theme
$ nix run github:guibou/nixGL#nixGLIntel -- nix shell .#deltatouch

This is how it looks like:

It is possible to configure account, send and receive messages. File selection dialog currently does not work outside of Lomiri desktop environment and I am not running the whole Lomiri, but it is usable anyway.

Lomiri in NixOS is 1-2 PRs away so I wanna give this a look, will give a review when I have some spare time.

Welcome to Nixpkgs! Haven't tried to build yet, but here are some initial notes.

Also to consider:

• finalAttrs style instead of rec style. Just grep Nixpkgs for some examples.
• Can we do without needing to copy-paste libraries into the build & output tree? Either patching the CMake script to link against system-supplied versions, or at least replacing the ones in the output tree with symlinks to the originals?

There is no need for rec, so I simply removed it.

Launches fine:

With the suggested changes, localisation works partially (large parts seem untranslated):

Would be nice to also merge #289215 first to update libdeltachat. But it is not a blocker, deltatouch works with old libdeltachat too.

I think the version should be 1.3.1-unstable-... because 1.3.1 is the last version from before the commit.

There is a "prepare 1.4.0" commit. The tag is missing. cc @lk108 did you forgot to push the tag or will you tag some later commit with 1.4.0?

I'm sorry, the tag should be there now.

So now the title of this PR is valid, it is 1.4.0

How do I add a new account?

This is on GNOME btw.

How do I add a new account?

You don't see the necessary icons, quote from link2xt above:
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#qt5ct nixpkgs#lomiri.suru-icon-theme
$ export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
$ qt5ct # select Suru icon theme

[link2xt]

How do I add a new account?

There is a "settings" icon in the top right corner, you don't see it because need to configure icons with qt5ct as described in the top post.

[lk108]

Actually, the "+" icon is used to set up a new account

[link2xt]

This is how account screen should look like:

Works well with the hints. I didn't test translations etc though.

Selecting the Suru icon theme in qt5ct was not necessary btw.

[OPNA2608]

If this is fine with you, considering there was some uncertainty about the patch.

[link2xt]

I tested, still works.

[link2xt]

Rebased another time because of dbc967d
