# CI support files

This directory contains files to support CI, such as [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/.github/workflows) and [Ofborg](https://github.com/nixos/ofborg).
This is in contrast with [`maintainers/scripts`](`../maintainers/scripts`) which is for human use instead.

## Pinned Nixpkgs

CI may need certain packages from Nixpkgs.
In order to ensure that the needed packages are generally available without building,
[`pinned-nixpkgs.json`](./pinned-nixpkgs.json) contains a pinned Nixpkgs version tested by Hydra.

Run [`update-pinned-nixpkgs.sh`](./update-pinned-nixpkgs.sh) to update it.
ci: init directory This creates a new directory for all CI support files, will be populated in future commits. 2024-06-25 23:51:40 +01:00			`# CI support files`

ci: reusable Nix format Nixpkgs pin This is needed such that in the next commit, we can re-use the same version from a shell.nix, allowing people to have a guaranteed matching nixfmt version. 2024-06-25 23:52:13 +01:00
