A nixpkgs overlay for following upstream suckless git commits

Suckless Git Overlay

Provides git variants of suckless tools up to date with master.

There is CI to automatically update the overlay.

Packages provided

• dmenu-git
• dwm-git
• st-git

To see what git revision or the epoch of the revision's creation you can check the flake.lock file.

To Use

Add the overlay to your home.nix (home-manager) or configuration.nix (NixOS):

{
  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (import (builtins.fetchTarball {
      url = https://github.com/06kellyjac/suckless-git-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz;
    }))
  ];
}

{
  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {
    overlays = [
      (import (builtins.fetchTarball {
        url = https://github.com/06kellyjac/suckless-git-overlay/archive/master.tar.gz;
      }))
    ];
  }
}:
{}

If you are using flakes to configure your system, add to your nixpkgs overlays attribute (examples will differ, the following is for home-manager):

{
  inputs.suckless-git-overlay.url = "github:06kellyjac/suckless-git-overlay";
  outputs = { self, ... }@inputs:
    let
      overlays = [ inputs.suckless-git-overlay.overlay ];
    in
      homeConfigurations = {
        macbook-pro = inputs.home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
          configuration = { pkgs, ... }:
            {
              nixpkgs.overlays = overlays;
            };
        };
      };
}

Install a package:

nix-env -iA pkgs.<PACKAGE_NAME>

or add to home-manager/configuration.nix.
