I have the unpleasant duty of informing everyone that all plans to release nixos-16.03 are OFF. We were literally minutes away from tagging the source code and switching on the nixos-16.03 channel when Domen realized that we had flat-out forgotten to implement several important BLOCKERS that prevent us from releasing the new version right now. So we had an on-line meeting, discussed our options, and concluded to POSTPONE any new NixOS releases until the following issues are resolved: - Re-designed UI for Nix command-line tools - Deterministic Reproducible Builds (#2281) - Security Hardening (#7220) - Fast Delivery of Security Updates (#10851) - Recursive Nix - Declarative User Environments a.k.a. User-space NixOS (#9250) - Hydra NG (#12203) - Lazier mkDerivation function (#11094) - Consistent Support for Multiple Outputs (#7701) Once ALL these issues are implemented and tested, we'll start over with a new release cycle. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
