open letter to the NixOS foundation

Eelco’s leadership is deleterious to the project by him undermining authority of others, by him avoiding giving away authority and thereby disallowing community leadership to develop, by ignoring issues which he relitigates after discussion was done, and by holding undeclared conflicts of interest that pose serious risks to the Foundation and the Nix project as a whole.The cultural problems in the Nix project have existed for years, and certainly have been prominent since 2021 when RFC98 failed. These systemic problems are more difficult than simply removing Eelco, but they cannot be solved in the presence of his leadership reinforcing them.

Reproducibility of Build Environments through Space and Time - Archive ouverte HAL
#publication
#nix
|
Modern software engineering builds up on the composability of software components, that rely on more and more direct and transitive dependencies to build their functionalities. This principle of reusability however makes it harder to reproduce projects' build environments, even though reproducibility of build environments is essential for collaboration, maintenance and component lifetime. In this work, we argue that functional package managers provide the tooling to make build environments reproducible in space and time, and we produce a preliminary evaluation to justify this claim. Using historical data, we show that we are able to reproduce build environments of about 7 million Nix packages, and to rebuild 99.94% of the 14 thousand packages from a 6-year-old Nixpkgs revision.

Hi all, TL;DR - Kicking off an effort to secure long-term funding for our S3 costs and exploring alternatives. This comes after multiple years where Logicblox has been graciously sponsoring the S3 costs for Nix! An enormous thank you to them. The LogicBlox team (which has since been acquired by Infor) has been providing significant support to the Nix ecosystem by sponsoring our S3 buckets. They have asked to transfer the ownership of the costs and give us a good heads up (timeline discussed be...
