mynixpkgs

My custom repository of my nixpkgs that I plan to either upstream to nixpkgs or keep here as they don't make sense to share.

It follows the regular conventions of nixpkgs (specially following the conventions defined in their named based package directories).

Usage

Flakes

You can add my pkgs repository as a regular flake input:

{
    inputs = {
        mynixpkgs = {
            url = "github:aldoborrero/mypkgs";
            inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
        };
    };
}

And use it as a regular flake input to access it's packages as a regular flake input or add them to your nixpkgs as an overlay:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/23.11";
    mynixpkgs = {
      url = "github:aldoborrero/mynixpkgs";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = inputs @ { self, mynixpkgs, nixpkgs, ... }: let
    pkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs {
      inherit system;
      overlays = [
        # add packages via the default overlay
        mynixpkgs.overlays.default
      ];
    };

  in {
    nixosConfigurations.my-system = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      inherit system pkgs;
      modules = [
        # optional: add nixos modules via the default nixosModule
        mynixpkgs.nixosModules.default
      ];
    };
  };
}

Niv

Thanks to flake-compat you can also use this repository without flakes! Make sure you import it with:

$ niv add aldoborrero/mypkgs

And add the overlay to your nixpkgs import with niv:

{system ? builtins.currentSystem}: let
  sources = import ./sources.nix;

  # overlays
  mynixpkgs = import sources.mynixpkgs;
in
  import sources.nixpkgs {
    inherit system;
    config.allowUnfree = true;
    overlays =
      [
        mynixpkgs.overlays.default
      ];
  }
