You'll have to add yourself to lib/maintainers.nix for that to work.

Thank you for PR!

I've left some comments.

During build I am receiving a few lines like this:

g++ -c -pipe -Wextra -O2 -fPIC -std=gnu++11 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQUAZIP_STATIC -DAPP_VERSION=\"0.1.0\" -DFIp
/nix/store/nkq0n2m4shlbdvdq0qijib5zyzgmn0vq-bash-4.4-p12/bin/bash: git: command not found
g++ -c -pipe -Wextra -O2 -fPIC -std=gnu++11 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQUAZIP_STATIC -DAPP_VERSION=\"0.1.0\" -DFIp

Should we provide git to extract the current treeish/tag to be displayed during runtime?

When trying to execute the application I am getting the following error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

You can probably just do qmakeFlags = [ "-r" ]; instead of your preBuild line. There are qmke hooks in-place that take care of the PREFIX and QMAKE_LRELEASE etc...

That should be the default for all qmake based projects. See: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/libraries/qt-5/hooks/qmake-hook.sh#L13

Is qtbase really a nativeBuildInput? Wouldn't that be a regular buildInput since it is most likely only used for linking/headers?

use fetchfromGitHub instead

usually - should not be part of the version. Everything after the last - denotes the package version.

Also version is not a (formal?) required attribute. Often it is just used as convenient way to share the version string across multiple place within a package.

You should probably rewrite the beginning of your deriviation to look like this:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec { version = "0.git.20171229"; name = "librepcb-${version}"; … }

Needs to be added to lib/maintainers.nix as well.

Using https for cloning is the preferred way. I switched this to fetchFromGitHub, which does this.

this can be simplified by:

qmakeFlags = ["-r"];

Can you rename the patch to make it self-explaining (in example what the patch fixes).

the name should contain the version or a date of last commit, if a software project does make releases

Should we provide git to extract the current treeish/tag to be displayed during runtime?

It's not that important, but yes, if it's easy to provide the git command at build time, it would be useful because the revision information is displayed at runtime 👍

Failure for system: x86_64-darwin

Package ‘librepcb-20171229’ in /tmp/nix-ofborg/repo/38dca4e3aa6bca43ea96d2fcc04e8229/builder/lnl7-mac/pkgs/applications/science/electronics/librepcb/default.nix:27 is not supported on ‘x86_64-darwin’, refusing to evaluate.

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowBroken = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.
