Nix packages that aren't popular enough to be in the main nixpkgs repository. They also deserve some love ❤️

Clone this repository then use nix-shell --command 'task build' to build all packages locally. Check the Taskfile.yaml or use task -l for more commands.

Import it either directly or through NUR. See instructions below. It takes two optional parameters:

• system, which defaults to builtins.currentSystem
• pkgs, which defaults to <nixpkgs> and inherits system

You can use this form in shells, flakes and any other independent nix file.

{ pkgs, ... }:
let
	nurpkgs = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/wwmoraes/nurpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz") { inherit pkgs; };
in { ... }

Use nurpkgs.<package-name> to reference a package from this repository.

let
	pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {
		config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
			nur = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/archive/master.tar.gz") {
				inherit pkgs;
			};
		};
	};
in { ... }

Then use nur.repos.wwmoraes.<package-name> to install a package from this repository. Check https://github.com/nix-community/NUR for more details.

The repository has a companion Cachix binary cache with aarch64-darwin and x86_64-linux builds. Use cachix use wwmoraes or configure it manually in your nix settings.

Add to your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix:

nix.settings.substituters = [
	...
	"https://wwmoraes.cachix.org"
];
nix.settings.trusted-public-keys = [
	...
	"wwmoraes.cachix.org-1:N38Kgu19R66Jr62aX5rS466waVzT5p/Paq1g6uFFVyM="
];

Add to /etc/nix/nix.conf:

extra-substituters = https://wwmoraes.cachix.org
extra-trusted-public-keys = wwmoraes.cachix.org-1:N38Kgu19R66Jr62aX5rS466waVzT5p/Paq1g6uFFVyM=
