dmftPackages

A package collection for DMFT simulations.

Binary cache

Binaries are built nightly for the version of nixpkgs pinned in flake.lock, as well as for the latest stable and unstable branch of NixOS and pushed to Cachix. To use the cache, either execute

$ nix-shell -p cachix --run "cachix use hmenke"

or append to these entries in your nix.conf

substituters = https://hmenke.cachix.org
trusted-public-keys = hmenke.cachix.org-1:Vxo5V5+3AoKc+zu/3MQaUqhPYtUfMwlu27jRYE3JZ/8=

Don't delete the cache.nixos.org entries!

Installation

As a channel

Add the channel

$ nix-channel --add https://github.com/hmenke/dmftPackages/archive/master.tar.gz dmftPackages
$ nix-channel --update

and use

let
  dmftPackages = import <dmftPackages> {};
in
# ...

As a tarball

Instead of adding it as a channel you can also fetch the tarball for a specific commit to pin the versions

let
  dmftPackages = import (fetchTarball {
    url = "https://github.com/hmenke/dmftPackages/archive/df01f3b01c558b6629c3dee60a029fca221b65ee.tar.gz";
    sha256 = "1ybvqh9d5g94h3s3z44wsvz69frnbfpsdi0nxysyw5g9h9wgfagl";
  }) {};
in
# ...

As a flake

The package set is also available as a flake.

{
  inputs.dmftPackages.url = "github:hmenke/dmftPackages";
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, dmftPackages, ... }: {
    # ...
  };
}

However, all the packages are exported as a flattened tree with levels separated by / because flakes doesn't support nested attribute sets in the packages output. So to use one of the nested packages you have to specify it as

dmftPackages.packages.x86_64-linux."triqsPackages/triqs"

or use the legacyPackages attribute

dmftPackages.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.triqsPackages.triqs

Notes

1. When importing dmftPackages you can pass a specific version of nixpkgs as an argument to use a specific checkout of nixpkgs, e.g.

   let
     pinnedPkgs = import (fetchTarball {
       url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/a3a3dda3bacf61e8a39258a0ed9c924eeca8e293.tar.gz";
       sha256 = "1ahn3srby9rjh7019b26n4rb4926di1lqdrclxfy2ff7nlf0yhd5";
     }) {};
     dmftPackages = import (fetchTarball {
       url = "https://github.com/hmenke/dmftPackages/archive/df01f3b01c558b6629c3dee60a029fca221b65ee.tar.gz";
       sha256 = "1ybvqh9d5g94h3s3z44wsvz69frnbfpsdi0nxysyw5g9h9wgfagl";
     }) { pkgs = pinnedPkgs; };
   in
   # ...

2. Related to 1., when the pkgs argument is left out, the pinned version of nixpkgs from flake.lock will be used.

3. The attribute names follow the directory structure. The attribute names are also case-insensitive equal to pname.

4. All packages that have checks have their checks run when building to ensure the correctness of the resulting binaries.

5. There is also an overlay in case you want to install these packages in your local or global environment, e.g. on NixOS.

Known issues / TODO

• macOS builds are disabled for now because there are some unresolved linking issues

• Ensure that builds are reproducible
