Re: [Nix-dev] Fwd: Nixpkgs and NixOS moved to GitHub

So, [here][1] we have a nice example of discussions in pull requests. This shows that this model actually works. I hope one day we'll get a document explaining how to work pull requests, and I'd like to suggest the following. In cases like this one, when there are lots of commits fixing small

More on policy. AFAIK, many projects follow [git's own recommendations on sending patches][1]. We should look at this document and decide what is acceptable for us to adopt. Especially, we have to agree on commit message format (ignoring sign-offs for now) and tenses used. Right know most commits

Also, i know that nix is young and multipage policies will be overkill, but something like README.md in pkgs/data/fonts/ and other dirs could work. What do you think? Shea Levy s...@shealevy.com writes: I think these are good ideas. More structure and policy in nixpkgs would probably

Shouldn't we introduce a separate attrset to hold fonts instead of putting them into top-level? Ok, guys, let's be honest. Nix needs something like categories. And, no, suffixes in package names are not a good solution. And, by the way, nested attrsets won't work either, because, as I know, after

for nixpkggs the attr path is also very important. What about also moving everything into fonts.* attr path? Same as xserver python-packages etc. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl

Hi Eelco, as a NixOS organization member you can configure notifications for yourself at github. Currently, only a small subset of nix-dev are organization members. Even if all subversion committers are organization members again, it would be handy if non-organization members could subscribe to
