RevolunixOS Nix package template

Small example repository for packaging shell applications with a Nix flake. It demonstrates multiple installed executables, build-time path substitution, a wrapped runtime dependency, an icon, and a generated desktop entry.

The checked-in example installs exemple and exemple-2; it is intentionally minimal and should be renamed when creating a real package.

Try the template

git clone https://github.com/RevolunixOS/pkg-template.git
cd pkg-template
nix build
nix run

Adapt it

1. Rename the scripts in src/.
2. Update pname, version, display name, and description in package.nix.
3. Replace the icon and desktop-entry fields, or remove them for a CLI-only tool.
4. Update substituteInPlace for internal executable paths.
5. Add every runtime command to lib.makeBinPath.
6. Correct the homepage, license metadata, platforms, and main program.
7. Run nix fmt, nix build, and the installed program.

The flake currently pins NixOS 24.05 and exports only x86_64-linux.
