Hello everyone, we are Ryan Lahfa & Martin Weinelt, the release managers for NixOS 23.05 🦦 ("Stoat").
As we approach the next release of NixOS, it's time to discuss the upcoming feature freeze period. We want to ensure that this release is as stable and reliable as possible, and your contributions are crucial to achieving that goal, here are the two upcoming dates in that context:
- 17th April 2023 (17/04/2023): Restrict breaking changes to Release Critical Packages
- 1st May 2023 (01/05/2023): Restrict all breaking changes except for desktop environments.
The complete timeline is available here:
The first restriction will be in place in two weeks, therefore, we encourage all teams to check in now and mention possible roadblocks, so we get a good overview of what's ahead.
Blockers
Whether you were pinged or not, we encourage everyone to create issues for release blockers and add them to the 23.05 Blockers project.
Check-in
Please comment your status quo and possible issues as soon as possible. We'll check teams once they have checked in.
If you think some subsystem, person or team should be added or removed from this list, update maintainers/team-list.nix in time before the next feature freeze announcement.
Desktop environments
Platforms
Languages ecosystem
Compilers, build systems
Programs
Modules
Installer
Internals
Finally
No issue is too big or too small, but let's remember that we are all working on the project voluntarily in our free time here, so let's focus on issues that can be realistically addressed in the remaining time before the release.
We thank everyone for their contribution!
