Add emacsmirror repository #65

Closed BenediktBroich closed 4 months ago

BenediktBroich commented 2 years ago

Hello, there are a lot of projects listed on emacsmirror. Here you can find Package (552). Despite asking these Packages are likely to never appear on melpa and in conclusion will not get into nix. Some people are using them via straight.el. Is there a way these scripts can be used to integrate them in nix as a additional repository?

That website says

Not all of those packages should be added to Melpa (in fact most of them shouldn't), and if you decide to submit recipes for some of them, then please first make sure they meet the minimal requirements. Also see https://github.com/melpa/melpa/issues/7892.

If most of them should not be added to MELPA, I would say they also should not be added to Nixpkgs. Of course, some useful packages can be added to MELPA or Nixpkgs.

Is there a way these scripts can be used to integrate them in nix as a additional repository?

This repo is for generating and updating elisp packages in Nixpkgs. It does not support emacsmirror packages.
