This is my first contribution, so if there is anything wrong procedure wise, please tell me as I have a few more packages I would like to push and want to do them right the first time.
Also, I only have a x86_64-linux device with GUI loaded on it, so if anyone wants to build and test the app on other architectures, be my guest and feel free to update the platforms section. This should work on all linux architectures.

[aldenparker]

Ok I swapped to the app image version so that it for sure works on all linux archs

Hi, let me guide you through your first pr into nixpkgs!

The repository follow a commit convention, so you'll need to change the history in order to have the 2 following commits:

maintainers: add aldenparker
xnconvert: init at 1.105.0

Because this constitute 2 different actions (adding yourself in the maintainer list then adding a package)!

I have added a few suggestion below, you can ask me any question!

[aldenparker]

Thank you for the help. I am about to apply the suggestions, is there any specific commit message style for doing so?

Edit: looking at the commit conventions, it seems I just need the package name in front. So my next question would be should I squash it into the init commit or leave with extra message.

[Sigmanificient]

Yup, squash it down the the 2 commits i mentioned!

[aldenparker]

Thanks for the help! This should do it.

[Sigmanificient]

pkgs/by-name/xn/xnconvert/package.nix is present on the first commit 👀
Sorry for bothering you on that (Can you also reomve the trailing . in the description)?

[aldenparker]

Alright there we go. Sorry about that.

[aldenparker]

Lastly, I would like to backport this for 25.05. The docs say I can add a label, but I can't seem to do that. Could you add this label or tell me how to? If I remember right it has to do with repo permissions, so I probably can't do it myself.
