# `nixpkgs-vet` is a tool to vet Nixpkgs: its architecture, package structure, and more. # Among other checks, it makes sure that `pkgs/by-name` (see `../../pkgs/by-name/README.md`) follows the validity rules outlined in [RFC 140](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/140). # When you make changes to this workflow, please also update `ci/nixpkgs-vet.sh` to reflect the impact of your work to the CI. # See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-vet for details on the tool and its checks. name: Vet nixpkgs on: # Using pull_request_target instead of pull_request avoids having to approve first time contributors. pull_request_target: # This workflow depends on the base branch of the PR, but changing the base branch is not included in the default trigger events, which would be `opened`, `synchronize` or `reopened`. # Instead it causes an `edited` event, so we need to add it explicitly here. # While `edited` is also triggered when the PR title/body is changed, this PR action is fairly quick, and PRs don't get edited **that** often, so it shouldn't be a problem. # There is a feature request for adding a `base_changed` event: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/35058 types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, edited] permissions: {} # We don't use a concurrency group here, because the action is triggered quite often (due to the PR edit trigger), and contributors would get notified on any canceled run. # There is a feature request for suppressing notifications on concurrency-canceled runs: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/13015 jobs: check: name: nixpkgs-vet # This needs to be x86_64-linux, because we depend on the tooling being pre-built in the GitHub releases. runs-on: ubuntu-latest # This should take 1 minute at most, but let's be generous.
