Engineering apps

[yuuyins]

Description

nixpkgs misses many apps for engineering. My focus is software engineering, and for now mainly apps for requirements engineering and I also prioritize project management ones. They will be in pkgs/applications/science/engineering. This issue is mainly for stating the purpose and to keep track of the effort. Maybe I should create I separate repository for that goal. But as in #164019 (comment), I really want to have it in nixpkgs as to make it easier for users to find these software, making NixOS a very good platform (or the best) for learning and practicing software engineering.

Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) by IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS):

List of apps I'm trying and want to package below.

[ehmry]

I think if you have packages that are never the dependencies of other packages in nixpkgs (as games usually are) then I think its appropriate to maintain an external repository. Keep in mind that then you lose the automation and caching that we have for the monorepo. Otherwise I doubt anyone will tell you to keep packages out of the tree.

[yuuyins]

@ehmry my preference is to contribute to nixpkgs since people can find it more easily. so i hope reviewers/mergers will welcome the prs when they are ready. if not, i will create a separate repo.

[BenediktBroich]

I could need papyrus-rt 👍

[yuuyins]

@BenediktBroich I added it to the list. Eclipse-based software are specially hard to build in Nix. I'm having a hard time with #154188 😭😂 And from what I've seen, Papyrus and Bonita will be harder yet.
