Thanks for the links. Flakes seem to be a good way forward.
I've even read most Nix Pills posts, but didn't like them much. Too many details about things that I didn't understand at the time of reading, so the why got lost.
In Nix you get a lot of details, what is missing is often the why and how. For example I wanted to have a CLI command available with a binary build, finding out how to add the CLI tool to the package through wrapProgram in postInstall wasn't fun. Overall Nix is awesome, but here and there it is hell of a lot frustrating. After reading so many hours I should not have to ask how to install a custom package the right way.
