Motivation for this change

jabcode consists of a library and reader/writer executables for the JAB bar code format. It constitutes the reference implementation of what will be an ISO standard (NP23634).

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Some small nitpicks. I'm curious: Is there any real use-case for this already? What's your motivation in packaging this?

It seems like the library really should be its own derivation, it shares little code with the reader/writer.

Not sure about that, it does share the source as well as some of the build inputs. Also since its all in the same repo upstream, if they decide to e.g. make changes to the build system at some point, they could become more coupled in the future.

If you feel strongly about this, I can decouple them

No, I don't feel very strongly. I think dependencies are likely to diverge, but your points are valid as well.

Thanks for reviewing this! Currently its mostly for playing around with it. But I hope that the library part can be reused in zbar, which would make it a lot more useful (because that includes image recognition / scanning capabilities).

Alright, probably the purest of open-source motivations :) Thanks for the contribution!
