Hey,

Thanks for ddcutil/ ddcui, it is super useful.

I just wanted to let you know that I've packaged ddcui for nixpkgs which makes it available in NixOS, as well as being easily installable on any Linux distribution via nix, using nix-env -iA ddcui.

Because it requires root, I then run it with sudo $(which ddcui).

Thanks!

Having spent the past couple days wrestling with builds in launchpad, copr, and especially OBS, I'm impressed with the simplicity of your configuration file.

Yes, the fact that it's based on a real programming language makes code reuse and automation easy.

release 0.1.2

Thanks, NixOS/nixpkgs#91770

It requires that the user have RW privileges on /dev/i2c devices.

That's good to know, thanks! For nix-on-Ubuntu (where I'm currently testing), unfortunately there's no i2c group, but for nix-on-NixOS it can be done easily.

I've filed that as NixOS/nixpkgs#91771
