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 1,143 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).

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• nixpkgs

  973 15,656 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 1,508 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

  40 475 8.8 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/
