Changes since the last release New prompt segments: package: shows npm name and version from package.json (disabled by default). New and changed parameters: P9K_OS_ICON: set by Powerlevel10k on initialization; can be used in user-defined prompt segments and *_EXPANSION parameters. POWERLEVEL9K_ICON_PADDING: when set to moderate, some icons will have an extra space after them. This is meant to avoid icon overlap when using non-monospace fonts. When set to none, spaces are not added. Performance improvement: detect_virt prompt segment is now 50% faster. Bug fixes: Many terminal escape sequences are now terminated with BEL instead of ST. BEL is the standard terminator according to ECMA-48 §8.3.89 but Konsole doesn't understand it. Thankfully, all terminals appear to understand BEL as extension. Superfluous spaces have been removed from vcs segment when using a monospace font and not using my_git_formatter. Wizard: Generated configs now set POWERLEVEL9K_ICON_PADDING in favor of *_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_EXPANSION. The value of this parameters depends on the answers to the first few questions that concern terminal font capabilities. Generated configs no longer attempt to work around misconfigured locale. The workarounds in Powerlevel10k proper are sufficient. gitstatus: Fix a regression on Linux systems where uname doesn't understand -o. Fix a regression on Cygwin and MinGW when running on older versions of Windows. Fix a bug that can result in occasional gitstatus initialization failure on WSL when using Powerlevel10k with Instant Prompt. |

Other Project Repositories
The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
- hydra - our continuous integration system
- NixOS Artwork - NixOS artwork
Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 19.09 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 19.09 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build over 40,000 pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests. When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot, OfBorg will perform various checks to help ensure expression quality.
The Nixpkgs maintainers are people who have assigned themselves to maintain specific individual packages. We encourage people who care about a package to assign themselves as a maintainer. When a pull request is made against a package, OfBorg will notify the appropriate maintainer(s). The Nixpkgs committers are people who have been given permission to merge.
Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:
master
is the main branch where all small contributions gostaging
is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on Hydra builds go to this branchstaging-next
is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when deemed of sufficiently high quality
For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.
Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
