So if you are curious about how to package for #NixOs perhaps there is also a project you'd love to contribute to and have in Nix. This is your chance to learn and work with other folks.
This was only possible due to the hard work of the Mob and also to an experienced Nix Packager to foster in those packages.
So from us at Librecast, we'd like to thank Albert Chae, @aynish ,Dominic Mills, @jleightcap and @nerves. We'd also like to thank @Pol for helping to get our three packages upstreamed.
#SummerOfNix are packaging @librecast and we have packages for the librecast, lcrq and lcsync with more to follow!
If there is anyone in the community who is interested in learning more about #NixOS and packaging, the SummerOfNix folks will show you how to become a #Nix maintainer. It's a small task - updating packages a few times a year, but an important one. It's a way to get involved in the #FOSS community and help support #librecast and NixOS.
As a small project we are always excited when we end up in a new distribution or even a new system!
We know we have a supportive community on here. So if you want to contribute and you aren't sure how to, you can always ask us on IRC or message us here.
With the excellent news that we were packaged for @nixos_org we want to ensure that it's maintained.
I'm really happy to announce the #SummerofNix 2023, organized together with the #NixOS and #NLNet foundations.
We have significantly reworked the collaboration format and will focus exclusively on #mobprogramming this year. In addition, we will be working on a monorepo “ngipkgs” for all #NGI Nix packages.
Thank you, @EU_Commission and NGI program, for the support and the belief in Nix as a tool to manage the complexity of #opensource.
