minus-square@kevincox@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•2 years agoHi 👋 Let me know if you have any questions. Things are very slowly progressing with a couple of RFCs: [RFC 0088] Nixpkgs Breaking Change Policy by kevincox · Pull Request #88 · NixOS/rfcs [RFC 0119] Formalize testing for nixpkgs packages by jonringer · Pull Request #119 · NixOS/rfcs We are starting by defining what it means to “break” something and how people are expected to test for that. I think the next big steps are: Tooling for automatically running the expected tests. Tooling to automatically notify the maintainers of packages that are being broken. Tooling to automatically mark packages as broken if the maintainers notified in step 2 don’t respond. But it is a huge step that we are getting agreement on the policies and how work should be distributed.
