[Nix-dev] How to submit nix expressions?

[Peter Simons]

Hi,

it might be beneficial to have a regular procedure how users can contribute
updates to the nix-pkgs tree. The following alternatives come to my mind:

 (1) Just e-mail the patch or the nix file to this mailing list and trust
     that someone commits it. This is what we're doing implicitly right now.

 (2) Post the patch or the nix file to the bug tracker. This triggers a
     notification, which (hopefully) leads to the bug being assigned to some
     volunteer to handle the contribution. It's all very ISO-9001'ish, but
     the process seems to work for Gentoo.

 (3) Post the patch to a wiki. This is how the Emacs people collect elisp
     files, and it seems to work fine.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Peter
