# Stale bot information
- Thanks for your contribution!
- To remove the stale label, just leave a new comment.
- _How to find the right people to ping?_ &rarr; [`git blame`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame) to the rescue! (or GitHub's history and blame buttons.)
- You can always ask for help on [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/) or on [Matrix - #nix:nixos.org](https://matrix.to/#/#nix:nixos.org).
## Suggestions for PRs
1. GitHub sometimes doesn't notify people who commented / reviewed a PR previously, when you (force) push commits. If you have addressed the reviews you can [officially ask for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from those who commented to you or anyone else.
2. If it is unfinished but you plan to finish it, please mark it as a draft.
3. If you don't expect to work on it any time soon, closing it with a short comment may encourage someone else to pick up your work.
4. To get things rolling again, rebase the PR against the target branch and address valid comments.
5. If you need a review to move forward, ask in [the Discourse thread for PRs that need help](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604).
6. If all you need is a merge, check the git history to find and [request reviews](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from people who usually merge related contributions.
## Suggestions for issues
1. If it is resolved (either for you personally, or in general), please consider closing it.
2. If this might still be an issue, but you are not interested in promoting its resolution, please consider closing it while encouraging others to take over and reopen an issue if they care enough.
3. If you still have interest in resolving it, try to ping somebody who you believe might have an interest in the topic. Consider discussing the problem in [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
4. As with all open source projects, your best option is to submit a Pull Request that addresses this issue. We :heart: this attitude!
**Memorandum on closing issues**
Don't be afraid to close an issue that holds valuable information. Closed issues stay in the system for people to search, read, cross-reference, or even reopen--nothing is lost! Closing obsolete issues is an important way to help maintainers focus their time and effort.
## Useful GitHub search queries

# Contributing to Lix # Contributing to Nix
Welcome and thank you for considering contributing to Lix! We're currently in a soft release phase, and your support means a lot to us. Welcome and thank you for your interest in contributing to Nix!
We appreciate your support.
To ensure a smooth and effective contribution process, here is a summary of our guidelines: Reading and following these guidelines will help us make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.
## Getting help?
If you have any question regarding getting started or reporting bugs, feel free
to reach out to us.
On Matrix, we have a space at `#space:lix.systems`, composed of:
- [`#discuss:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#discuss:lix.systems) for discussions on Lix.
- [`#dev:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:lix.systems) for the development channel on Lix.
## Report a bug ## Report a bug
- Check if your bug has already been reported in the [issue tracker](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues). 1. Check on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues) if your bug was already reported.
- If you can't find the bug or feature, please open a new issue.
We maintain a copy of the upstream Nix bugs. Their organisation can be read about [here](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/bug-tracker-organisation). 2. If you were not able to find the bug or feature [open a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose)
3. The issue templates will guide you in specifying your issue.
The more complete the information you provide, the more likely it can be found by others and the more useful it is in the future.
Make sure reported bugs can be reproduced easily.
4. Once submitted, do not expect issues to be picked up or solved right away.
The only way to ensure this, is to [work on the issue yourself](#making-changes-to-nix).
## Report a security vulnerability ## Report a security vulnerability
For security vulnerabilities, reach out by email at `security at lix dot systems`. Check out the [security policy](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/policy).
## Making changes to Lix ## Making changes to Nix
Before diving into making changes, we want to engage with you and your ideas. 1. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intent to work on.
You can use [labels](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels) to filter for relevant topics.
We have a few policies in effect; please take the time to familiarize yourself: 2. Search for related issues that cover what you're going to work on. It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
- [Style guide on code](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/code) Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/good-first-issue) should be relatively easy to fix and are likely to get merged quickly.
- [Freeze policy and recommended contributions](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/freezes-and-recommended-contributions) Pull requests addressing issues labeled [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) are especially welcomed by maintainers and will receive prioritised review.
To avoid duplication of effort, it may be a good idea to check out the list of 3. Check the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html) for information on building Nix and running its tests.
[pending pull requests](https://gerrit.lix.systems/q/status:open+-is:wip) (or "change lists", as Gerrit calls them). Once you have
an idea of what you might want to do, we recommend dropping a message on our
Matrix to ensure your contribution fits with our current schedule and plans
When you're ready and your changes are ready to go: For contributions to the command line interface, please check the [CLI guidelines](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/cli-guideline.html).
- Submit your code. 4. Make your changes!
- Submitting a GitHub PR [on our mirror](https://github.com/lix-project/lix) is totally ok if that's easier for you and your change is relatively small (300 lines or so).
We may ask you to resubmit it as a Gerrit CL if it is necessary for the change you're making. 5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) for your changes.
- Our primary code review system is [our Gerrit instance](https://gerrit.lix.systems), where you can open a change list (CL). * Link related issues in your pull request to inform interested parties and future contributors about your change.
If you're new to Gerrit, check out [our wiki page about Gerrit](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/gerrit). * Make sure to have [a clean history of commits on your branch by using rebase](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request).
- Make sure to link any related issues. If your pull request closes one or multiple issues, note that in the description using `Closes: #<number>`, as it will then happen automatically when your change is merged.
- If needed, indicate that the change is 'work in progress'. * [Mark the pull request as draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if you're not done with the changes.
You can obtain an account on our platforms by clicking "Sign In with GitHub" on the sign-in page. 6. Do not expect your pull request to be reviewed immediately.
Nix maintainers follow a [structured process for reviews and design decisions](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/maintainers#project-board-protocol), which may or may not prioritise your work.
Following this checklist will make the process smoother for everyone:
- [ ] Fixes an [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) issue
- [ ] Tests, as appropriate:
- Functional tests [`tests/functional/**.sh`](./tests/functional)
- Unit tests [`src/*/tests`](./src/)
- Integration tests [`tests/nixos/*`](./tests/nixos)
- [ ] User documentation in the [manual](..doc/manual/src)
- [ ] API documentation in header files
- [ ] Code and comments are self-explanatory
- [ ] Commit message explains **why** the change was made
- [ ] New feature or incompatible change: updated [release notes](./doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-next.md)
7. If you need additional feedback or help to getting pull request into shape, ask other contributors using [@mentions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams).
## Making changes to the Nix manual
The Nix reference manual is hosted on https://nixos.org/manual/nix.
The underlying source files are located in [`doc/manual/src`](./doc/manual/src).
For small changes you can [use GitHub to edit these files](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-files/editing-files)
For larger changes see the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html).
## Getting help
Whenever you're stuck or do not know how to proceed, you can always ask for help.
The appropriate channels to do so can be found on the [NixOS Community](https://nixos.org/community/) page.

tracing files for each compilation unit. To enable it, run `meson configure
build -Dprofile-build=enabled` then rerun the compilation.
If you want to make the build go faster, do a clang build with meson, then run
`maintainers/buildtime_report.sh build`, then contemplate how to improve the
build time.
You can also look at individual object files' traces in
<https://ui.perfetto.dev>.

synopsis: "Build failures caused by `allowSubstitutes = false` while being the wrong system now produce a decent error"
issues: [fj#484]
cls: [1841]
category: Fixes
credits: jade
---
Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
```
$ nix build -f fail.nix
error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.

synopsis: Concise error printing in `nix repl`
prs: 9928
cls: 811
---
Previously, if an element of a list or attribute set threw an error while
evaluating, `nix repl` would print the entire error (including source location
information) inline. This output was clumsy and difficult to parse:
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:1:9:
1| { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
| ^
error: uh oh!»; }
```
Now, only the error message is displayed, making the output much more readable.
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error: uh oh!»; }
```
However, if the whole expression being evaluated throws an error, source
locations and (if applicable) a stack trace are printed, just like you'd expect:
```
nix-repl> builtins.throw "uh oh!"
error:
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
at «string»:1:1:
1| builtins.throw "uh oh!"

category: Breaking Changes
credits: [piegames, horrors]
---
A system for deprecation (and then the planned removal) of undesired language features has been put into place.
It is controlled via feature flags much like experimental features, except that the deprecations are enabled default,
and can be disabled via the flags for backwards compatibility (opt-out with `--extra-deprecated-features` or the Nix configuration file).
- `url-literals`: **URL literals** have long been obsolete and discouraged of use, and now they are officially deprecated.
This means that all URLs must be properly put within quotes like all other strings.
- `rec-set-overrides`: **__overrides** is an old arcane syntax which has not been in use for more than a decade.
It is soft-deprecated with a warning only, with the plan to turn that into an error in a future release.
- `ancient-let`: **The old `let` syntax** (`let { body = …; … }`) is soft-deprecated with a warning as well. Use the regular `let … in` instead.

Add a new `eval-system` option.
Unlike `system`, it just overrides the value of `builtins.currentSystem`.
This is more useful than overriding `system`, because you can build these derivations on remote builders which can work on the given system.
In contrast, `system` also effects scheduling which will cause Nix to build those derivations locally even if that doesn't make sense.
`eval-system` only takes effect if it is non-empty.
If empty (the default) `system` is used as before, so there is no breakage.

On macOS, open the Console app from Applications/Utilities, select Crash

- Passing no arguments will update all inputs of the current flake, just like it already did.
- Passing input names as arguments will ensure only those are updated. This replaces the functionality of `nix flake lock --update-input`
- To operate on a flake outside the current directory, you must now pass `--flake path/to/flake`.
- The flake-specific flags `--recreate-lock-file` and `--update-input` have been removed from all commands operating on installables.
They are superceded by `nix flake update`.

dropped.
We now restore the `-E` short form for better UX. This is most useful for
`nix eval` but most any command that takes an Installable argument should benefit

synopsis: using `nix profile` on `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default` no longer breaks `nix upgrade-nix`
cls: 952
---
On non-NixOS, Nix is conventionally installed into a `nix-env` style profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default.
Like any `nix-env` profile, using `nix profile` on it automatically migrates it to a `nix profile` style profile, which is incompatible with `nix-env`.
`nix upgrade-nix` previously relied solely on `nix-env` to do the upgrade, but now will work fine with either kind of profile.

synopsis: Upstart scripts removed
cls: 574

Upstart scripts have been removed from Lix, since Upstart is obsolete and has
not been shipped by any major distributions for many years. If these are
necessary to your use case, please back port them to your packaging.

synopsis: Better error reporting for `with` expressions
prs: 9658
---
`with` expressions using non-attrset values to resolve variables are now reported with proper positions.
Previously an incorrect `with` expression would report no position at all, making it hard to determine where the error originated:
```
nix-repl> with 1; a
error:
<borked>
at «none»:0: (source not available)
error: value is an integer while a set was expected
```
Now position information is preserved and reported as with most other errors:
```
nix-repl> with 1; a
error:
… while evaluating the first subexpression of a with expression
at «string»:1:1:
1| with 1; a
| ^
error: expected a set but found an integer: 1
```
