Switch to new base16 repository

[xusiai]

The base16 repo linked in the readme has been archived in favor of the new repo here.

It already is, see:

nix-colors/flake.nix

Line 9 in fc080c5

base16-schemes.url = "github:tinted-theming/base16-schemes";

The links in the readme are not updated to match.

No it isn't. Please look at the links above a bit closer.

Hey,

I love the new formt tinted theming uses, and I think it's the way to go. Sadly switching nix-colors to it is not as straight forward as I'd like.

The main problem is that there isn't really a pure nix yaml converter available. The one we're using is hackish and does not work with more complex (e.g. non-top level attributes) yaml, which the 0.11 spec now uses.

There's a few possibilities here:

• Use IFD
  • Affects performance significantly
  • Requires changing our current colorSchemes.<scheme> interface to colorSchemes.<system>.<scheme>.
• Pre-process and vendor JSON file(s) with the schemes
  • This was my approach before 2.0:
  • Will break the current feature that allows users to change the inputs.follows to switch nix-colors to different upstreams
• Wait for Add support for parsing YAML NixOS/nix#7340
  • Even if merged, will be an experimental feature for a while, so not ideal either
• Ask tinted theming to include JSON versions of the schemes (?)
• Somehow try to make the current fromYaml function work with nested keys

Hi @Misterio77, you can check out my fork of DavHau's fromYaml (BTW thanks for your MacOS regex fixes, I've used them there), it can read the new format (I successfully used it for my base16.nix lib)

Seems conceptually unnecesary.

what about using something like yaml2nix's solution?

Thank you so much for this @SenchoPens! Will definitely use it to make nix-colors compatible with the new format.
