Support for peripheral devices?

cbleslie opened this issue · comments

👋 Hello everyone!

I have one or two peripheral devices I would like to make modules for. The only problem is that nixos-hardware seems to be about; "the whole computer." is there room in this repo for individual "brand" peripherals?

This snippet would be the first thing converted to a module. It's for Apples External Super-drive:

Thanks for your time!

Shouldn't this go into nixpkgs as a service instead?

@ulrikstrid ,
This was my first thought. One could say the same thing for nixos-hardware repo as well right? Where is the line drawn? If the contribution is not welcome here, that's fine. I can focus on putting it in nixpkgs.

As I see it you want to add a general service that anyone (?) can use.
This repo is a collection of known good configurations for different hardware.

Not sure if that makes it clearer or not?
