Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

It's still very important for me, makes printing much more easier and reliable.

Please, can you reconsider adding it to NixOS package repository

Edit: I would add that it is the only well-done software that allows GUI manual duplex printing, and preparation for booklet printing on Linux. And I have reviewed a lot of software for similar purposes. A lot of people I work with use Boomaga to prepare their books for binding.

@bojanbaros If you still want to use boomaga on nix, you can checkout my config at Package at : https://github.com/0x006E/dotfiles/blob/main/boomaga.nix and Virtual Printer config at: https://github.com/0x006E/dotfiles/blob/main/printing.nix

The cups backend doesn't work, but the gui application works without any problem.
