raspberry-pi-nix repository got archived

[osbm]

I want to ask about the maintenance status of the raspberry-pi-nix repository. It says "The repository was archived by the owner on Mar 23, 2025." There is no explanation about the archiving in the README and we cant open new issues to ask about it too.

I dont want this project to die because i use it in my pi's and i believe this repository is the entry-point to every question a Nixos user has.

If it is OK for you, I can help maintain this project for everyone. Along with another trusted member of the community.

I actually sent an email to the admin@nix-community.org not knowing this place. But there hasnt been any response (probably my email got sent to the spam).

Seems there is a similar project that is actively maintained.

This project grew naturally out of the need to configure and extend rather great tstat's raspberry pi support repository, which we used for some time.

Unfortunately it was virtually possible to work with without reengineering the whole thing, so this Flake was born. Inability to use it non-interactively with nixos-anywhere was the biggest concern.

We found boot.loader.raspberryPi options to be much more idiomatic, easier to extend, and maintain.

This flake strives to keep and improve those properties by keeping it as unopinionated as possible and modular (see above)

We're still using some ot the modules provided by an adapted fork of tstat/raspberry-pi-nix, namely config.txt generation module.
