alphacrimsonvariable NUR Packages
A public, reproducible Nix package index for FF00 applications, beginning with the FF00 Video Wallpaper Manager alpha.
- Nix
- NUR
- Forgejo
- GitHub
The crimsonvariable NUR Packages repository is the public Nix package index for
FF00 applications. It begins with ff00-vwm, packaged from the immutable
v0.1.0-alpha.1 release rather than a mutable development checkout.
The package verifies both the source archive and the vendored Cargo dependency graph. Its build runs the application’s seventeen Rust tests, installs the desktop entry and icon, and wraps the binary with the tested GTK, X11, and mpv runtime environment. The same package can be evaluated as a flake or through the conventional NUR repository interface.
Registration status
The repository was submitted to the NUR registry on 3 August 2026. Both current
NUR checks pass, but
nix-community/NUR#1190
remains open. That means the package repository is public and usable directly,
but it must not yet be described as indexed or available through NUR.
Before registry indexing, the packaged application can already be installed directly from this package repository:
nix profile install github:crimsonvariable/nur-packages#ff00-vwmThe independently packaged application release also remains available through its immutable upstream tag:
nix profile install 'github:crimsonvariable/ff00-vwm?ref=v0.1.0-alpha.1'After NUR accepts and indexes the repository, the package attribute will be:
pkgs.nur.repos.crimsonvariable.ff00-vwmRepository boundary
Forgejo is the canonical development source. GitHub is the public mirror NUR can fetch. Package updates follow upstream FF00 release tags, pin their hashes, and are tested before the mirror is advanced. This repository does not publish private workstation modules or turn a personal NixOS configuration into an implicit dependency.
