Recently, I switched to NixOS and realised that there is no G’MIC plugin package for Krita.
There’s this issue that was last active in October 2023.
I was wondering if anyone has managed to install this without using another package manager (such as Flatpak) or installing an AppImage manually, for system reproducibility, and I also don’t wanna have two package managers in one system.
Ideally, there’d be a wrapper, so you could do something like:
{ pkgs, ... }: {
programs.krita = {
enable = true;
gmic.enable = true;
gmic.package = pkgs.krita.gmic-qt;
};
}
Thoughts?
Related: is there some kind of guide on these program.<name> wrappers? What are they and where are they defined?
I can’t answer the “how to make it work” part, as I’m on a different device using a Guix System. But yes, I can vouch that what you’ve done is actually wrong. There’s no entry for Krita under NixOS options. The
program.<name>options are defined here. Someone will have to create a custom expression just for the Krita fork of G’Mic. Might as well have to involve patches.I know, I provided that snippet as an example of what I think would work better.
