nix-extrapkgs

A channel providing various derivations for NixOS that are, for one reason or another, unsuitable for the main nixpkgs channel.

You can add it by issuing the following commands:

nix-channel --add https://jtojnar.github.io/nix-extrapkgs/channel/nixexprs.tar.xz extrapkgs
nix-channel --update

Then, you will be able to use the derivations in your configuration.nix in the following way:

{ pkgs, ... }:
let
  extrapkgs = import <extrapkgs> {};
in {
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    extrapkgs.hamster-gtk
  ];
}

List of packages

• hamster-gtk (development version)
