Is nchat published to nix?

[jozefRudy]

Hi,

any chance you could publish this to nix? it's more portable than any other distribution I believe, if not too difficult.

there is already nix package, which however is older: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.11&show=nchat&query=nchat

Hi @jozefRudy - if you check the unstable channel it seems it already has the latest (stable) nchat release v5.12.21:
https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&query=nchat

So perhaps you can switch to that if you need the very latest release. If you need "bleeding edge" you can build from git source manually.

Disclaimer: I'm not involved in the packaging/publishing to Nix, so I don't know anything about that release process. Perhaps questions about it is better posted in some Nix forum.
