This repository is split into 4 main parts, each of them has a clearly defined purpose, more may be and will be added later.
This directory only contains new packages, introduced by NixNG. These packages
are developed with NixNG or specifically needed to make NixNG work. Examples
include: sigell - our signal dispatching binary.
This is the directory you’re currently in. It contains all of manually written NixNG documentation. Please visit Writing Documentation to learn how to contribute to this doc.
This directory contains all the NixOS modules making NixNG possible. They’re structured into directories, which make sense somewhat, a proper structuring guide hasn’t yet been made.
This directory contains the NixNG Nix library, it’s the the nixpkgs.lib
attribute set we’re all familiar with. The one rule that it shares with its
nixpgks counterpart is that it must be system independent. System dependent
stuff should go into /overlay.
This directory holds examples utilising NixNG to build container images. This closesly relates to a test framework and is one of the areas that needs work. You can find an issue related to this on the issue tracker.
