Description
Issues
nix flake check --no-build reports:
- app lacks
meta.description
Some nixpkgs revisions deprecate/reshapepkgs.xorg.*usage patterns, causing warnings or breakage over time.
Also metadata currently has inconsistencies:
- license mismatch with project docs
- maintainer format not following nix conventions
Proposal
- Add
meta.descriptiontoapps.default - Align
meta.licensewith repo license - Normalize/remove
meta.maintainersto valid nix style
Resolve X11 libraries through compatibility lookups:
- prefer modern attrs when available
- fallback to
pkgs.xorg.*for compatibility
