Migration to Clean Package-Only Structure

✅ Migration Complete

The cursor-flake repository has been successfully migrated from a complex system configuration flake to a clean, focused package-only flake.

📁 New Structure

├── flake.lock                   # Flake lock file

    └── ...                      # (other archived files)

🚀 How to Use

Build Cursor Package

nix build .#cursor
./result/bin/cursor --version  # Should show: 1.5.5

Update to New Version

./update-cursor.sh "https://downloads.cursor.com/production/[hash]/linux/x64/Cursor-1.6.0-x86_64.AppImage"

Use in Your NixOS System

Add to your main system flake:

cursor-flake = {
  url = "github:yourusername/cursor-flake";  # or "path:/path/to/cursor-flake" for local
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Then use:

environment.systemPackages = [
  cursor-flake.packages.x86_64-linux.cursor
];

🆚 What Changed

Before (Complex Structure)

❌ Mixed package + system configuration
❌ Required nixos-rebuild switch for testing
❌ Risk of breaking system during updates
❌ Inconsistent with other flakes
❌ Complex update process

After (Clean Structure)

✅ Pure package management
✅ Simple nix build .#cursor testing
✅ No system breaking risk
✅ Consistent with ollama-nixos-flake pattern
✅ Simple update workflow

🔧 Benefits

Safety: No more system crashes during updates
Simplicity: Focused on just packaging Cursor
Reusability: Easy to integrate into any NixOS system
Consistency: Matches your other package flakes
Maintainability: Much less code to maintain

📦 Archive

All old system configuration files have been preserved in archive-old-system-configs/ for reference, including:

The old complex flake.nix
System configuration files
Home manager configuration
Old update scripts

✨ Current Status

Cursor Version: 1.5.5
Structure: Clean package-only flake
Update Script: ./update-cursor.sh
Build Test: ✅ Working
Version Test: ✅ Working (reports 1.5.5)

The migration is complete and the flake is ready for production use! 🎉
