Why this package? Primary Goal: Always Up-to-Date Codex for Nix Users This flake provides immediate access to the latest OpenAI Codex versions with: 1. Native Rust Binary : Self-contained binary, no runtime dependencies 2. Hourly Automated Updates : New Codex versions available within 1 hour of release 3. Dedicated Maintenance : Focused repository for quick fixes when Codex changes 4. Flake-First Design : Direct flake usage with Cachix binary cache 5. Pre-built Binaries : Multi-platform builds (Linux & macOS) cached for instant installation 6. Node.js Runtime Option : Alternative codex-node package for those who prefer Node.js Why Not Just Use npm Global? While npm install -g @openai/codex works, it has critical limitations: - Disappears on Node.js Switch : When projects use different Node.js versions (via asdf/nvm), Codex becomes unavailable - Must Reinstall Per Version : Need to install Codex separately for each Node.js version - Not Declarative : Can't be managed in your Nix configuration - Not Reproducible : Different Node.js versions can cause inconsistencies - Outside Nix : Doesn't integrate with Nix's dependency management Example Problem : You're working on a legacy project that uses Node.js 16 via asdf.
