Every now and then I see a program that doesn’t have a default.nix or flake.nix in the source, doesn’t have an entry in nixpkgs, and otherwise can’t find a derivation for. So I write them myself.

What’s the best way to share these? Should I contribute to nixpkgs? (does this count if I’m making flakes?) Do I maintain a single repo for each program? Or do I create a repo with a collection of flakes? Something else?

      I’m only just now looking at publishing on flakehub. It does look like many users can point at individual repositories that just package external software. It looks like this encourages a repository for each application. Thanks for suggesting.
