How to pin a Codeberg repository with Nix + Nixtamal

Let’s show the way using the Biboumi repository. When you write this, you will substitute the owner & project slugs. In most cases, you will want to prefer fetching the archive (Forgejo supports gzip) over the Git input kind. git ls-remote is preferred by us for being more generic.

Latest revision

// manifest.kdl
inputs {
	soupault {
		archive {
			url "https://codeberg.org/poezio/biboumi/archive/{{fresh-value}}.tar.gz"
		}
	}
	fresh-cmd {
		$ git ls-remote --branches main "https://codeberg.org/poezio/biboumi.git"
		| cut -f1
	}
}

Latest stable release tag

// manifest.kdl
inputs {
	soupault {
		archive {
			url "https://codeberg.org/poezio/biboumi/archive/{{fresh-value}}.tar.gz"
		}
	}
	fresh-cmd {
		$ git ls-remote --tags --sort=v:refname "https://codeberg.org/poezio/biboumi.git"
		| grep -E "'refs/tags/([0-9]+\\.)+[0-9]+$'"
		| tail -n1
		| sed "'s|.*refs/tags/||'"
	}
