# 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 23.11 release](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/release-23.11)
|
|
* [Tests for unstable/master](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk-combined/tested#tabs-constituents)
|
|
* [Tests for the NixOS 23.11 release](https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/release-23.11/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.
