As
PKGBUILD
, theflake.nix
&flake.lock
file provide a way to build a nix derivation (package) for NixOS.I've made a Pull Request for
ragnarwm
within the official nixpkgs repository along side this pull request.Build ragner using nix

Moreover, this
flake.nix
provides a shell with the dependencies required to compile this project.This means that in any Linux distributions, windows WSL or even OSX, and other system supporting the nix package manager you use use it to pull the dependencies and enters in a development shell with everything setup for you.

nix develop # do casual stuff make

direnv can integrate within multiples shells (bash, zsh, fish, tcsh, ...)
