Projects

yarn2nix: converting yarn.lock files to build npm projects with nix
Package testing: an infrastructure to test nix derivations (without the need of VM tests)
- I gave a talk about that on the 2017 NixCon
Building minimal OCI/docker containers from nixpkgs, see Workgroup:Container

Ideas

nixpkgs support matrix

	x86_64	glibc	darwin	armv7	musl
Core	full	full	full	full	support
Extended Core	full	full	support	support	ask
Supported	support	support	support	support	ask
Maintained	support	ask	ask	ask	ask
Unmaintained	none	none	none	none	none

full: always tested, up-to-date, backported and release blocker
support: tested and actively maintained, backported
ask: depends on the maintainer and package what guarantees are given
none: not maintained (but might still be useful and is therefore not deleted)

Core: Small (low three-digit) number of packages maintained by active core team
Extended Core: less vital packages maintained by active maintainers
- About the same level as Archlinux core packages
- Stuff like e.g. KDE goes here
Supported: actively maintained by wider community, (automatically) tested on core systems [, backported]
Maintained: maintained, probably only manually tested on the maintainer’s system
Unmaintained: no maintainer, might not be on the newest version or broken because of updated dependencies
