Ekapkgs was designed to be a poly repo package set, so having Omarchy as a "downstream package repository" is a first class supported use case.

Some of the language around eka-ci, ekapkgs-cli, and other tooling should have a grain of salt as some of the features mentioned are planned but not yet implemented.

This plan is generated more from as "address all items in the nix.md" plan, rather than a holistic version of what I had in mind for "knocking your socks off" leveraging Nix as a base for "solving software issues with Nix, rather than trying to get software to adhere to Nix's high bar of purity." For example, I also had some ideas around enabling a lot of FHS workflows fthrough nix-ld and potentially extending it's feature set, so that downloaded binaries with non-crazy library dependencies still worked.

Go to the "Improvements from original nix plan" section if you want the cliffnotes version of what I'm proposing.

Throwing this up here as a thought experiment.
