So far, I'm very happy with how things work and can do most of my tasks as on any other Linux distribution. Some tasks, however, require some more reading and thinking.
Today I wanted to jot down a quick how-to on testing an addition to the Perl packages in the Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs).
After last weeks Bündner Championship I found start list generation and ranking process to be error prone, especially for the disciplines that are judged by several experts, such as slopestyle (Ski or Snowboard) or the formation skiing teams. We were editing Excel sheets (stored on OneDrive) and printing the new start lists for the next runs. Just imagine the printer 🖨️ on the mountain 🏔️🤣. The grades of the experts/judges needed to be transferred from paper into Excel after every completed run or heat.
