Provide a default.nix using flake-compat

Open gilligan opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

summary This small PR adds a default.nix using flake-compat to allow for using/building feedback without flakes: nix-build will just build the default package, which of course is the feedback derivation.

motivation I avoid using nix flakes but wanted to give feedback a try and flake-compat makes that pretty straight forward. If you prefer to not provide/maintain this - that's fair. I just thought this might be useful to others as well so I created this small PR ;)

I'll leave this open for now so anyone can use it, but I think the plan is for Nix to move to flakes completely eventually

I mean, maybe, who knows. For the moment it remains experimental (you explicitly allow it) and undocumented.

The flake-compat thing is the official compatibility shim so you should not have to worry about maintaining it any further while at the same time making feedback more accessible? I guess that’s my pitch 😅

But again, feel free to close & thanks for having a look.
