@ecco256:matrix.orgErik Hey folks, I’m sure you get this question a lot but I can’t seem to find an answer: are packages able to install/symlink files in /Library subdirectories?
Asking because I tried to package a VST and the /Library/Audio/Plugins/… files are nowhere to be found.
I figured I’d check an existing package dexed, which installs an application in /Applications and supposedly installs the Audio Units under /Library/…, but those are also nowhere to be found when added to nix-darwin. Nor home-manager for that matter…

Which seems to imply any kind of audio plug-in simply cannot be installed using nix-darwin?
