The release branches should generally not receive any breaking changes, both for the Nix expressions and derivations.
|
||||
So these changes are acceptable to backport:
|
||||
- New packages, modules and functions
|
||||
- Security fixes
|
||||
- Package version updates
|
||||
- Patch versions with fixes
|

- Minor versions with new functionality, but no breaking changes

The release branches should generally only receive backwards-compatible changes, both for the Nix expressions and derivations.
|
||||
Here are some examples of backwards-compatible changes that are okay to backport:
|
||||
- ✔️ New packages, modules and functions
|
||||
- ✔️ Security fixes
|
||||
- ✔️ Package version updates
|
||||
- ✔️ Patch versions with fixes
|
||||
- ✔️ Minor versions with new functionality, but no breaking changes
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, major package version updates with breaking changes are also acceptable for:
|
||||
- Services that would fail without up-to-date client software, such as `spotify`, `steam`, and `discord`
|
||||
- Security critical applications, such as `firefox` and `chromium`
