Here's the experiment I have been working on for the last few days: Aux Foundation!

https://github.com/auxolotl/labs/tree/main/foundation

This is based off of the minimal-bootstrap work done in #NixPkgs, but built using the module system and without any dependencies!

#Nix #NixOS #Aux

Trivia time. Raise your hand if you know the difference between:

builtins.fetchurl

And

(import <nix/fetchurl.nix>)

Question: how does one go back in time and do things differently? Asking for a friend...

jakehamilton, 1 month ago to random

The uncomfortable truth is that not everyone should be included in everything. When someone says that everyone should be included/heard, what they mean is that people who they deem reasonable and acceptable should be. It is a tough position to hold, but fundamentally one that simply must be held. There are people who are a negative influence on certain situations. A fair amount of the difficulty comes from determining the kind of person you will accept.

nixpkgs.news is hitting ~400 views each week. It's wild to think that just a few months ago I thought "eh, nobody will read this".

Nix forks are so hot right now

Thanks so much to everyone who hung in this week as we’ve all worked to fix the state of the Nix community. It’s been a ride; but I think things are going to get better.

Here’s the last major piece of the puzzle — the product of several months of work from an absolutely incredible team. It’s not ready for a full announcement, but we’ve opened our beta so people who are fleeing the core Nix community have a place to go.

@jakehamilton It seems like the Nix board responded significantly to maintainer concerns, but it also seems like aux is going ahead anyway. Can you help me understand why?
