nsaspy's Nimble packages Nix flake

Im running this as long as i need it, started the update action so if you was using the community version you can continue here.

This repository contains experimental-grade, auto-generated Nim packages.

TODO:

• automatic testing
• back-versioning

Usage

nix run nimble#fugitive
  # Build and execute a Nimble binary

nix dev-shell nimble
  # Enter a shell with the Nim and Nimble utilities

For an example of how to refer to Nim packages when building a Nix package you could have a look at this flake.

Synchronization

nix run .#package-updater

# …or to update an invidual package…

nix run .#package-updater generate foobar

This will prefetch the repositories of new and updated Nimble packages and record the necessary metadata to fetch the source as a fixed-output derivation. Each package has such a fixed-output that is used as a input to a derivations that produce metadata to (attempt to) build the package.

Overrides

Arguments to the Nim package builder may be added to the [./overrides.nix] file.
