Ryan Yin d463760e4a refactor(fcitx5): ship flypy rime data from NUR
Move the flypy schema data to the rime-data-flypy package in
ryan4yin/nur-packages and keep only the personal user dictionary
(flypy_user.txt) here. The overlay merges the NUR data with that file
and exposes the result as pkgs.rime-data, fcitx5-rime's rimeDataPkgs,
and pkgs.flypy-squirrel.

Overlays

Overlays for both NixOS and Nix-Darwin.

If you don't know much about overlays, it is recommended to learn the function and usage of overlays through Overlays - NixOS & Flakes Book.

Components

1. default.nix

The entrypoint of overlays, it execute and import all overlay files in the current directory with the given args.

2. fcitx5

fcitx5's overlay, add my customized Chinese input method - 小鹤音形输入法

This overlay provides:

  • Custom rime data for 小鹤音形输入法 (Flypy input method)
  • Cross-platform support for both Linux (fcitx5-rime) and macOS (squirrel)
  • Pre-configured input method settings

3. Package overlays

  • computer-use-linux.nix: exposes computer-use-linux from the nur-ryan4yin flake input.
  • cua-driver.nix: exposes cua-driver from the nur-ryan4yin flake input (used by the computer-use VMs).
  • smartctl-exporter/: pins prometheus-smartctl-exporter to the upstream commit carrying PR #329 until nixpkgs provides a version containing the fix; see overlays/smartctl-exporter/default.nix.
