== Using a custom flake ==
Another way to patch and configure suckless software is by using a flake. The patches are inputs of the flake which is why their hashes don't have to be manually specified.
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
{
  description = "st with the alpha patch and a custom config";
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
    # alpha patch
    alpha = {
      url = "https://st.suckless.org/patches/alpha/st-alpha-20220206-0.8.5.diff";
      flake = false;
    };
  };
  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils, alpha }:
    flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system: rec {
      # Create the  overlay
      overlays.default = self: super: {
        st = super.st.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
          patches = [ alpha ];
          configFile = super.writeText "config.h" (builtins.readFile ./st-config.h);
          postPatch = ''
            ${oldAttrs.postPatch}
            cp ${configFile} config.def.h
          '';
        });
      };
      # Append the overlay to nixpkgs and output the new st package
      packages.default = (nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}.appendOverlays [ overlays.default ]).st;
    });
}
</syntaxhighlight>
The overlay is also an output of the flake and can be consumed by other flakes like a system configuration.
