A Nix flake for building and developing Tidal. Packages are included for: - tidal - tidal-link - tidal-listener - tidal-parse A `tidal-ghci` package is also included. This is a small script that starts an instance of `GHCi` with `Tidal` installed and with the `BootTidal.hs` file passed as the `-ghci-script`. Packages can be built with `nix build .#tidal` or ran with `nix run .#tidal-ghci`. A `devShell` is included that provides `cabal-install`, `stack` and all other build inputs for the tidal packages above included under a temporary shell. This shell can be entered with `nix develop`.

Thanks for this, I'm not familiar with nix so am not clear what this is, so if you're happy to continue maintaining it that's fine! |

Hi folks! I've been digging into the Tidal code-base lately and thought I'd share the Nix flake I've been using to setup my Tidal environment and enable reproducible builds.
The following is from the flake's description:
Note that flakes are still an experimental feature of Nix! Their UX is such an improvement on the old workflow that I use them exclusively these days.
That said, I'd understand if the preference was to wait until the feature stabilizes in Nix before landing something like this.
Fwiw, I plan to keep using Tidal for the foreseeable future and am happy to help maintain this going forward (I'm also helping maintain vim-tidal).
A workflow has also been added that checks the formatting of the Nix code and checks that each of the packages build on x86 Linux and macOS.
