How to contribute
Note: contributing implies licensing those contributions under the terms of COPYING, which is an MIT-like license.
Opening issues
- Make sure you have a GitHub account
- Submit an issue - assuming one does not already exist.
- Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
- Include information what version of nixpkgs and Nix are you using (nixos-version or git revision).
Submitting changes
-
Format the commits in the following way:
(pkg-name | service-name): (from -> to | init at version | refactor | etc)
Examples:
- nginx: init at 2.0.1
- firefox: 3.0 -> 3.1.1
- hydra service: add bazBaz option
- nginx service: refactor config generation
-
Don't put dots at the end of package descriptions.
See the nixpkgs manual for more details on how to Submit changes to nixpkgs.
