Couple of noob questions

• pam-fprint-grosshack

  2 - -

There's a gitlab repo for "hack" for fprintd (here), but you are right the aur package points to a non-existent link.

• NUR

  24 1,174 9.1 Python

  Nix User Repository: User contributed nix packages [maintainer=@Mic92]

  

So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• nixpkgs

  978 16,066 10.0 Nix

  Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  

Third benefit in that use case is that it's very simple to patch up existing app. For example related to fprintd which you mentioned, the standard definition how to build is this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/security/fprintd/default.nix

• nixos-generators

  20 1,563 8.3 Nix

  Collection of image builders [maintainer=@Lassulus]

  

If you need to generate lxc container in NixOS then perhaps this repo might be useful: https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators this article uses it https://www.thedroneely.com/posts/running-nixos-linux-containers/

• repology-updater

  40 479 8.9 Python

  Repology backend service to update repository and package data

  

I believe it likely was a comparision in number of packages, currently nixpkgs outnumber AUR (although it also contains packages that are part of other languages): https://repology.org/
