[Nixpkgs](https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs) is a collection of over
|
||
|
|
100,000 software packages that can be installed with the
|
||
|
|
[Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package manager. It also implements
|
||
|
|
[NixOS](https://nixos.org/nixos/), a purely-functional Linux distribution.

# Continuous Integration and Distribution
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration
|
||
|
|
system, [Hydra](https://hydra.nixos.org/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [Continuous package builds for unstable/master](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/trunk-combined)
|
||
|
|
* [Continuous package builds for the NixOS 24.05 release](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/release-24.05)
|
||
|
|
* [Tests for unstable/master](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/tested#tabs-constituents)
|
||
|
|
* [Tests for the NixOS 24.05 release](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/release-24.05/tested#tabs-constituents)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at
|
||
|
|
https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are
|
||
|
|
met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via [Nix
|
||
|
|
channels](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/package-management/channels.html).

# Contributing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands
|
||
|
|
of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps
|
||
|
|
consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs
|
||
|
|
describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a
|
||
|
|
Linux distribution. The [GitHub Insights](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulse)
|
||
|
|
page gives a sense of the project activity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and
|
||
|
|
Pull Requests.

# Donations
|
||
|

The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a
|
||
|
|
nonprofit organization, the [NixOS
|
||
|
|
Foundation](https://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html). To ensure the
|
||
|
|
continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking
|
||
|
|
for donations to our organization.
|
||
|
|
|
||
