As a fairly new user of NixOS, I found that the current nixpkg is very outdated.
After discovering this, I decided to package auto-cpufreq myself so I could enjoy it from the latest releases. Also as someone who has been helping develop parts of auto-cpufreq, I wanted to setup a Nix dev environment through a
flake.nixfile. I also rewrote my Nix package to work with the flake and created a NixOS module that any NixOS user can take advantage of. This will allow us to keep up with the latest changes ofauto-cpufreqwithout worrying that the nixpkg is outdated.Note that the
flake.lockfile will need to be updated every once in a while to keep up with changes to Python, packages, etc... This is super easy and I can take care of this as needed. It could even be setup automatically through a GitHub action if we so wishIn addition to the flake, I have updated the README to include info about how to install on NixOS and have updated
auto-cpufreq-installerto exit and give the user a message upon detection of NixOSIn the meantime, I do plan on writing a PR to update the nixpkg to the latest release, but I still think this is a good change for the minority of Nix users :)
