Nix Support #2

Closed nikstur closed 8 months ago

nikstur commented 9 months ago

Do you plan to natively package this with Nix as well?

blitz commented 9 months ago

I can see what I can do tomorrow. Should be pretty trivial.

blitz commented 9 months ago

First tiny preparations: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/287295

blitz commented 9 months ago

Once the above PR is through. I'll open another PR. In the meantime, there is pkgs.virtualboxKvm here: https://github.com/blitz/nixpkgs/tree/vbox-kvm-2

blitz commented 9 months ago

I'm updating VBox in nixpgks to the same version that the KVM version is based on here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/287878

After that it should be easy to build a switch in the VirtualBox module to select which version you want.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/288579 <- It's missing a bit of work and the module is not tested at all at the moment, but might be good enough to try.

blitz commented 9 months ago

I finally finished the nixpkgs PR. Enjoy! Just waiting for reviews now.

@blitz can we close this now that https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/288579 has been merged?

blitz commented 8 months ago

Yes!
