[Nix-dev] mcaffee on nixos?

[Eike]

Hi Raahul,

thanks for your answer. I know there exists binaries for linux. I could
extract the zip from the mcaffee install script. It contains two deb and
two rpm packages and it looks for dpkg or rpm to install them. I think I
could probably extract the contents from the rpm/deb packages but then I
need to patch the binaries so that they find the shared libs on nixos,
right?  How can I do this, I'd guess with `patchelf` but I'm not sure
how to use it correctly.

Thanks and regards
Eike
