might need a get job thats a container with nix that can do the following

nix develop
scons platform=linuxbsd

closed as theoparis still links to this as a reference but that one should be used going forward

We working with this one now? We are not sending PRs up to Godot by default at this time, due to a reassessment in the core team, so we can start looking at stuff like this soon.

I spoke to McDubh about adding this one in for now a few days ago so i reopened it.
A lot of people have been asking for it.
I know this one works for NixOS and Nix on other linux distros, the PR that expands on this, has support for things like Mac hardware and Arm so that can be added in a little later down the road.
(I do actually have a couple people With Macs that said they will help and test it)

But yeah theirs no rush on it

just a suggestion, you can rebase instead of adding all these merge commits.

Hi @MichaelFisher1997 ,
I am a relatively new maintainer here, and am going back through all of the old PRs.
I see there are a few PRs here related to Nix packaging. While I am somewhat familiar with what Nix is, this is not my area of expertise.
Would you mind explaining your intended use case with this to better help myself and the rest of the team better understand what the benefits of providing upstreamed package definitions?
We are looking to make a final decision regarding this trio of PRs shortly. ( #954 , #247 , #154 )

The flake I opened last year isn’t a full dev setup yet. Right now you can nix develop and run scons manually, it pulls in all the dependencies so the build is reproducible and avoids the usual dependency issues. It still needs updating so nix build .#build (or nix run .#build) will do the full build in one step. At the time quite a few people seemed interested, but I’ve not heard much since. I’ve now got a new PC that can actually handle compiling it properly, so I can revisit this and finish it off if there’s still interest.
