NUR VS nix-processmgmt

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).

You need to use nur

Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

Apart from nixpkgs having many packages, there is also NUR which has even more stuff.

You might also want to publish your sarc utility on NUR, https://nur.nix-community.org/

nur = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nix-community/NUR/archive/master.tar.gz") {

Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.

Follow the NUR installation instructions and it should be in pkgs.nur.repos.arc.packages.nvidia-patch.

As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.

Some common options for the first: - your own git repo - your own flake (a specially constructed and easy to consume git repo) - something like NUR

I somewhere saw this project being mentioned: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt

That's nice and it showcases how Nix can create a declarative process management atop a script-based imperative manager. How is your experience with it? Also note that there's https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt, a manager agnostic processes management framework supporting s6 among others, but your way seems a bit more straightforward.

There's a project still being developed: https://github.com/svanderburg/nix-processmgmt my understanding is that if home-manager would use it (I don't know if there is even plan to do that, it's not the same author), it would be able to work without needing systemd.

It's not really clear to me what you are asking. Are you maybe looking for nix-processmgmt? (NixCon 2020 talk: https://cfp.nixcon.org/nixcon2020/talk/TW79FU/)
