It might still be useful to create an ollama-bin package, though! As you can see in this update request, it is sometimes difficult to build a project properly, which can delay updates. Having a binary package that doesn’t use nix to build the program but just ships the exact binary that the maintainer built can be useful as a workaround in such cases. Additionally, it can be helpful when debugging problems in the from-source package by comparing its behavior to the binary package.
So if you want to still have a go at this, feel free to do so!
Speaking of ollama, as I wanted to try this soon. I believe the binary package does not come with support for AMD ROCm built it. I think it would be nice, at least for me, to have an ollama-rocm version ready as well.
