Nix package #21

Open freeman42x opened 4 years ago

freeman42x commented 4 years ago

Nix is a very powerful package manager which offers very stable build across all of the Linux distributions and macOS X.

I would be ideal if there would be a Nix package so that anyone could easily install splatmoji. Even just a Nix expression defined here in this project would be better than nothing.

I might try to implement this myself if it is OK since it is quite exciting to do cause the benefits are huge and the effort is minimal.

The other packages are all done via fpm, but nix doesn't seem to be a supported target unfortunately 🙁

So yeah I've never used it, let alone packaged for it, but yeah sure I'm down for pull requests on the matter 🙂

i wrote a nix package for splatmoji. it probably wants some cleanup to make sure anyone adding it to systemPackages doesn't get bin/splatmoji.config and other data files in their PATH, and it needs some thought on how to handle the pluggable components (like xdotool) which wayland users might not want. right now i just don't link those into the package: the user should explicitly add xdotool/etc to systemPackages.

in enough time i might fix those things & upstream it, but if anyone else is more eager, you can use this as a starting point: https://git.uninsane.org/colin/nix-files/src/commit/8e8168ec28f30bae2c3d83c03fe2b115e4b4626f/pkgs/splatmoji/default.nix

if anyone upstreams splatmoji into nixpkgs, tag me on the PR and i'll review it 👍️

cleaned up the package today & opened a PR against nixpkgs for this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/211874
