Is the project in active development?

pmiddend commented 3 years ago

It's currently not actively developed, no. There's more than one reason for that: first, I have a full-time job now, leaving me less time to work on the project. The second one being that nixos-manager was developed with gi-gtk-declarative as the GUI library, and it doesn't seem that this is actively developed any more. Which left me wondering if I should rewrite nixos-manager using another backend (though gi-gtk-declarative is very, very comfortable to use), or start hacking on gi-gtk-declarative myself to add new features/widgets/.... Both were major obstacles for me, which has lead me to slow down development of nixos-manager. I'd be totally open to hand over maintenance to someone else, of course. And possibly I'll start working on it again, but I cannot say when.

I see. Congrats on your job and I wish you well. With that said, a disclaimer that the project is not being actively developed (at least for now) would be nice too have.

I'm not too great with Haskell, otherwise I'd offer to maintain the project.

I may be able to do little bits here and there - it currently requires removing the unstable clause from the build instructions as ghc883 does not exist in unstable anymore.

ghc883 is also not in stable, are you able to build nixos-manager?
