# nix-straight.el

Low-level Nix integration to [straight.el](https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el)

See [nix-doom-emacs](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-doom-emacs) for a usage example.

There are a couple of issues you may need to be aware of:
* Package names are dumbly inferred using the `meta.homepage` and `ename`
attributes. If they are both present and not match, then the packages is
instaled under both names in the `repos` directory.
* Packages are symlinked from the store so all VCS related operations are
unavailable and package contents may differ from the ones would be installed
from e.g. MELPA.
* Recipe targets are totally ignored, so there is currently no way of knowing if
a derivation from melpa would be used instead of a fork for example. However I
am planning to add a tool to generate Nix expressions from straight recipes in
the future.
