Engineering apps

[yuuyins]

Description

nixpkgs misses many apps for engineering. My focus is software engineering, and for now mainly apps for requirements engineering and I also prioritize project management ones. They will be in pkgs/applications/science/engineering. This issue is mainly for stating the purpose and to keep track of the effort. Maybe I should create I separate repository for that goal. But as in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/164019#issuecomment-1068711670, I really want to have it in nixpkgs as to make it easier for users to find these software, making NixOS a very good platform (or the best) for learning and practicing software engineering.

Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) by IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS):

• version 4, work in progress

List of apps I'm trying and want to package below.

[ehmry]

I think if you have packages that are never the dependencies of other packages in nixpkgs (as games usually are) then I think its appropriate to maintain an external repository. Keep in mind that then you lose the automation and caching that we have for the monorepo. Otherwise I doubt anyone will tell you to keep packages out of the tree.

[yuuyins]

@ehmry my preference is to contribute to nixpkgs since people can find it more easily. so i hope reviewers/mergers will welcome the prs when they are ready. if not, i will create a separate repo.

[BenediktBroich]

I could need papyrus-rt 👍

[yuuyins]

@BenediktBroich I added it to the list. Eclipse-based software are specially hard to build in Nix. I'm having a hard time with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/154188 😭😂 And from what I've seen, Papyrus and Bonita will be harder yet.

This issue has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:

[bendlas]

I was able to package openproject, as announced here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/191159#issuecomment-2295291413

It's in a separate flake for now: https://github.com/bendlas/openproject-nix

It's working, but package and module will need a bit more work before upstreaming into nixos. I'm not sure when I'll have time for that, so happy to accept help.
