Hi !

Thanks for your contribution.

1. Read the contributor guide (https://nix.dev/contributing/how-to-contribute.html) to learn how to format the PR title and commit log message
2. I see that the node-packages.nix contains many package updates, is it intended ?

What's the status of this pr? Are there any remaining blockers? From what I can see, it looks ready to merge.

[SuperSandro2000]

We don't want to add new packages to nodePackages and it should be packaged separately. You seem to care for this PR. Could you open a PR for that?

Why? Could you point me to any relevant documentation/issues/etc?

Could you open a PR for that?

I would, but I don't know the process for creating node packages. Could you tell me where to start (ie documentation or existing example package). Nevermind, I finally found this.

@SuperSandro2000 From what I can tell, ollama-js is just a library, which makes me wonder whether it should be packaged at all. From what I can tell, all node packages in nix have a cli or some interactive artifact; I'm not even sure how js libraries packaged in nix can be used, or if they can be at all. What do you think?

@Kahlenden Why do you want ollama-js to be packaged in nixpkgs? What use case does that enable for you, in what ways can it be used?

[SuperSandro2000]

Good question. I do not know either. It could be that some program required it to be build or so but then it should be packaged there.
