If you want your packages to be included in the Nixpkgs repository, you have to use fetchurl to obtain the source code from a particular URL. The source code is then downloaded and stored in the Nix store. This is the Nix way of dealing with source tarballs. Have a look at some existing packages in Nixpkgs or in the Nix manual.

Must The package be installed in /usr/nixos/packages/ then or can I use the default from the sources. I will try to make Gnome 2.32 avaible for Nixos and if I use the configure, make, make install I can follow the blfs manual.
