     2: 
     3: This repository collects up useful functions and other bits and pieces for the
     4: [Nix](http://nixos.org/nix) language.
     5: 
     6: Some of these may be suitable for including in the official nixpkgs repository,
     7: but others may be too hacky and/or experimental. Note that this repository isn't
     8: necessarily stable, so it's recommended to pin a particular git revision if you
     9: depend on it.
    10: 
    11: The goals of this project are:
    12: 
    13:  - Complement nixpkgs by providing an "overlay" of useful helper utilities
    14:  - Avoid packaging end-user software, since that's best done elsewhere
    15:  - Have few external dependencies
    16:  - Work across Nix and nixpkgs versions
    17: 
    18: Bug reports and patches are welcome! These can be emailed to
    19: chriswarbo@gmail.com either as normal emails or via `git send-email`. Issues are
    20: tracked in git too, using [Artemis](http://mrzv.org/software/artemis), so they
    21: can be included in a patch if you like.
