<p>I've been using the Nix package manager for some time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first commit of a flake.nix file to my <a href="https://code.oliverdavies.uk/opdavies/nix-config">nixos-config repository</a> (formerly my dotfiles repository) was on the 26th of September 2022.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following month, I started to experiment with NixOS - the operating system built on the Nix language and the package manager.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rarely have I found a package missing within the 120,000+ available, but I have added some missing Vim plugins and some custom packages to my own configuration.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But I hadn't tried to contribute any package definitions back to nixpkgs until today.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've submitted <a href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/395028">my first pull request to nixpkgs</a> to add a small script that I've added to my own configuration.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's always nerve-racking contributing to a new projects, but let's see how it goes.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'm thinking of it as <a href="/daily/2024/05/14/free-code-reviews">a free code review</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If it goes well, I can see me contributing more packages in the future.</p>
