Policy to package for NixOs #1497

Closed tobiasBora closed 1 year ago

tobiasBora commented 1 year ago

I love this software… and Nix/NixOs. In NixOs, it is however hard to run a binary package directly (it must typically be patched as usual paths like loaders in /lib are moved to another location to preserve purity). For this reason, many packages (including binaries) are packaged in https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs, possibly by only providing nix files describing how to build the binary (the binary can be cached on some servers to avoid the need to build the package, but this can be disabled), and it is tempting to add armorpaint as well.

As one needs to pay to get the binaries for armorpaint, would you be against adding armorpaint to nix? If you prefer we can also force nix to only distribute the build recipe but not the final binary.

Thanks for the kind words. Given the license being what it is I do not think I can do anything about it. :) Feel welcome to use armorpaint sources as needed.
