Is something specifically from Andy required? As the glimmer-suite all has gems, I would assume that NixOS already has some gems in their repository, so the same rationale could probably be applied to the glimmer-gems.
Hey @rubyFeedback no I don't think anything is specifically required from Andy its just that NixOS is a special creature and when I naively attempted a nix-shell I couldn't get glimmer to install. The typical bundle install doesn't work with it. I believe the Cairo dependency up was having some problems and while I do see Cairo in nixpkgs, I think you can't do a Cairo nixpkg and then a bundle install of the other dependencies because they don't all reference each other because NixOS isn't FHS compliant.
Desktop (please complete the following information and make sure it matches Glimmer Pre-Requisites before reporting an issue):
Describe the issue NixOS is a reproduceable build system designed to have multiple versions of a program installed simultaneously without using containers or virtualization software.
I would like to request a glimmer package for NixOS. I have already submitted a package request to the nixpkgs repo here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/293795
