@peppe Actually, (almost) every #FreeBSD #port should also be available as a binary #package. When one is missing, this typically indicates a build failure on the latest bulk run. Trying to build it yourself won't help here unless there was a fix committed to the ports tree meanwhile, in which case the package will also "reappear" within few days.

I'm trying to make a _good_ .deb package.

Yet I'm having a hard time finding a blog post where someone explain their experience going from bare minimum to a fairly advanced package with multiple stuff going pre and post install.

By _good_ I also mean something that helps understanding the why some packager use /etc/default/xyz and /etc/xyz/ yet some never use /etc/default .

Any pointers ?

@mrkaran Great insights & a pleasure to read. I have used #nixos as my main machine for a few years & its main advantage is that it won't let me mess it up because I do not install anything other than via the configuration.nix. Your post has given me a view on how to use it properly.
My big question: how can one #package something to get it into the nixOS search.nixos.org/packages
? I am happy to do the work but no micro step by step guide seems available. I am thinking of #reticulum #meshchat
