Description
We have a darwin-maintainers team, which is currently hovering around 50 members.
If you'd like to join the team, we're looking for help with the following:
- Review and test open PRs
- Participate in reducing the number of failing darwin packages
- Respond when NixOS/darwin-maintainers is pinged on an issue/PR that you are knowledgeable about
Requirements for joining are minimal. We take a look at issues/PRs you've been involved in to make sure you are helpful and respectful rather than disruptive or rude.
Comments on issues that help confirm they're a problem are just as valid as PRs fixing popular packages. If you have a hard time contributing to the project in this way, a history of productive discussion on the NixOS Discourse or a similarly easily accessible place for public discussion can be considered.
You're welcome to join the Nix on MacOS community on Matrix whether or not you join the team.
If you want to help out but don't have access to aarch64-darwin hardware you can request access to the Darwin build box. Note that it's shared hardware so communicate in the Matrix room when you're doing stdenv rebuilds for a while. A great big thanks to @winterqt for starting that initiative and the Infra team for keeping it going!
Feel free to nominate yourself and help use bring macOS into a better state : )
This is a spiritual successor to #145230, thank you, Domen, for improving the state of Darwin support so far.
