use jet from nix
slimslenderslacks opened this issue · comments
It would be nice to add jet to <nixpkgs> or even to just have a flake in this repo so that we can build jet into default dev environments using tools like home-manager.
I'm fine with this as long as someone else provides the PR. There may already be someone maintaining this somewhere.
Starting a draft PR here: #147 - I'll ask in clojurians slack whether there's anyone already maintaining this somewhere.
jet is already on nixpkgs: nix run github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable#jet -- --help
It could make sense to add a flake if you want to run the latest version from master with nix.
In that case, I think #147 can be simplified with some upcoming changes I have on mind for clj-nix. In a couple of weeks I could work on that, if you don't mind the wait.
If you want to add a flake to the project, I'm ok maintaining it. To automate the boring parts, it would be nice to add a CI job to re-generate the clj-nix lock file after an update to the clojure dependencies.
Oh! Thanks @jlesquembre - to be honest, this is all I would really want so I think maybe I'll close this issue. I'll leave around the branch from #147 if you're interested in using it to test some clj-nix changes. But I'll close this PR just to clean up.
Thanks for adding jet to nixpkgs - I have the hardest time finding things there :)
