Topic: mathcomp-extra via nix

Hi there.

I would like to load mathcomp-extra along all the other mathcomp modules in my nix flake.
Sadly, mathcomp-extra currently does not have nix support.
What would be the proper steps to add nix support to it?

Kind regards,
Sebastian.

You can try to add it to nixpkgs by following the documentation at https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-language-coq. It contains an example that depends on a bunch of mathcomp packages, so this should provide a good basis.

Thanks a lot for that link. I will give it a try.

Sadly, mathcomp-fingroup and mathcomp-field also do not have nix support yet. And hierarchy-builder does not yet have a release for Coq 8.17.

None of this is true actually.

Oh, then maybe I missed something. I appologize.
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place.

For example, for hierarchy-builder, this is the file I'm looking at:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/4e7bb552f35af407f8c9e5224daf463aab06b818/pkgs/development/coq-modules/hierarchy-builder/default.nix

Oh, I was on the wrong branch in the nixpkgs repo. My bad!
Thanks for the hint.
