License / package for Nixpkgs? #23

Open tbenst opened 4 years ago

Would you consider adding a free-software license to this repo? Also, any interest in adding this package to nixpkgs? Thanks so much for making this code available!

I added a license here: https://github.com/justinwoo/spago2nix/blob/master/LICENSE

For adding this to nixpkgs, I think what you will need to do is create a tag (e.g. "2019-12-18") and copy the existing default.nix to point to that github commit. Then just reference the original file in some way and submit to nixpkgs. e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/purescript/purescript/default.nix

I've added you as maintainer so you can make your own tag to use for a nixpkgs package derivation
