A <code>-bin</code> version is only available if a source-based version already exists, and there exists a meaninful difference between the two. An example is the Hashicorp Vault package that doesn't include the web UI, but the <code>-bin</code> version does. | |The binary is copied from upstream, not build from source using Nix.

|Some packages provide options for customization that don't affect the main build, and is thus done in the <code>-unwrapped</code> package. The package is then wrapped to provide customization without having to recompile the package. This is an implementation detail, you generally don't want to directly use an <code>-unwrapped</code> version. | |Some packages provide options for customization that don't affect the main build, and is thus done in the <code>-unwrapped</code> package.
