betterbird-nix

A Nix flake for Betterbird — a fine-tuned fork of Mozilla Thunderbird — with automated version and hash updates.

Usage

Add this flake as an input:

{
  inputs.betterbird-nix.url = "github:TheAnachronism/betterbird-nix";
}

Then use the package or overlay:

# Package
inputs.betterbird-nix.packages.x86_64-linux.betterbird

# Overlay
nixpkgs.overlays = [ inputs.betterbird-nix.overlays.default ];

Or build directly:

nix build github:TheAnachronism/betterbird-nix#betterbird

Auto-updates

A GitHub Actions workflow runs every 6 hours (and on manual dispatch). When a new Betterbird release is available, it:

1. Updates version and hash in package.nix
2. Verifies the build with nix build
3. Commits the change and creates a GitHub release

Platform

Currently supports x86_64-linux only. The package wraps the official binary tarball from Betterbird.
