Every now and then I see a program that doesn’t have a default.nix or flake.nix in the source, doesn’t have an entry in nixpkgs, and otherwise can’t find a derivation for. So I write them myself.
What’s the best way to share these? Should I contribute to nixpkgs? (does this count if I’m making flakes?) Do I maintain a single repo for each program? Or do I create a repo with a collection of flakes? Something else?
You must log in or register to comment.
Couldn’t you just publish to a git repo?
nix run github:your-username/your-repo
This is certainly an option, just wondering whats done most in practice. Right now this is what my own flakes do.
