Hello everyone,

I'm Emmanuel, an Outreachy participant interested in contributing to NixOS reproducible builds. I've gone through the contribution guidelines and have already made some initial contributions, which you can find here:

https://github.com/ngi-nix/ngipkgs/issues?q=is:pr+author:3pleX-dev

Now, I'm ready to start working on issues related to NixOS reproducible builds.

However, I’m a bit confused. I noticed that all projects on the Outreachy page have similar contribution guides, and the initial contribution instructions led me to ngi-nixpkgs. Since all the "good first issue" contributions are under that repository, I’m not sure if those contributions will count towards this project.

Could someone clarify this for me?

Thanks!

I see in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/ar/arandr/package.nix that it's building from a tarball. Do you get the same result when building from the gitlab sources? (I'm not at a pc right now so haven't looked inside yet)

Hello, thanks for your response! I have not built it from the gitlab source. I only built it following the recommended steps on the issue page. I will try and build from gitlab when I get home in the evening.

I will go ahead and indicate my interest on the issue page.

Thanks 🙏

I don't know anything about Outreachy-specifics (is probably a question for Fernando Rodrigues) but I'd expect nixpkgs to be in scope :)

Yes I have seen this now, the docs in the outreachy site had me confused for a bit, I was initially trying to follow through step-by-step. The ngipkgs repo was also referenced for good first contributions under reproducible build section

thank you so much for clarifying this Fernando Rodrigues
