This importer has bitrot; it could probably be salvaged with some effort from someone knowledgeable about today’s Nix (i.e., not me :-)): https://issues.guix.gnu.org/32339 Another option would be to delete it altogether: it only contributes a tiny bit to the packaging effort. Only a tiny bit because the difficult part is written as Bash and/or Nix functions, which the importer cannot “translate”. Let’s look at the examples you give: > https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/blob/master/bcm2835.nix Could be imported, minus ‘preConfigure’. > https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/blob/master/bootloader.nix This is not a package but a NixOS “module” (akin to a Guix service type). > https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/blob/master/default.nix This looks like a package collection (obfuscated, though). > https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/blob/master/netboot.nix Not a package but a “module” for a custom initrd. > https://github.com/librerpi/rpi-open-firmware/tree/master/nix Not sure what that is. In short, the importer would save you 2mn of typing for the first file, little more. Thanks, Ludo’.
