This addresses the following security issues:
* Ansible: Splunk and Sumologic callback plugins leak sensitive data in logs (CVE-2019-14864)
* CVE-2019-14846 - Several Ansible plugins could disclose aws
credentials in log files. inventory/aws_ec2.py, inventory/aws_rds.py,
lookup/aws_account_attribute.py, and lookup/aws_secret.py,
lookup/aws_ssm.py use the boto3 library from the Ansible process. The
boto3 library logs credentials at log level DEBUG. If Ansible's
logging was enabled (by setting LOG_PATH to a value) Ansible would set
the global log level to DEBUG. This was inherited by boto and would
then log boto credentials to the file specified by LOG_PATH. This did
not affect aws ansible modules as those are executed in a separate
process. This has been fixed by switching to log level INFO
* Convert CLI provided passwords to text initially, to prevent unsafe
context being lost when converting from bytes->text during post
processing of PlayContext. This prevents CLI provided passwords from
being incorrectly templated (CVE-2019-14856)
* properly hide parameters marked with no_log in suboptions when
invalid parameters are passed to the module (CVE-2019-14858)

Nixpkgs is a collection of over 40,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.
Manuals
- NixOS Manual - how to install, configure, and maintain a purely-functional Linux distribution
- Nixpkgs Manual - contributing to Nixpkgs and using programming-language-specific Nix expressions
- Nix Package Manager Manual - how to write Nix expresssions (programs), and how to use Nix command line tools
Community
Other Project Repositories
The sources of all offical Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
- hydra - our continuous integration system
- NixOS Artwork - NixOS artwork
Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 19.09 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 19.09 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build over 40,000 pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests. When pull requests are made, our tooling automation bot, OfBorg will perform various checks to help ensure expression quality.
The Nixpkgs maintainers are people who have assigned themselves to maintain specific individual packages. We encourage people who care about a package to assign themselves as a maintainer. When a pull request is made against a package, OfBorg will notify the appropriate maintainer(s). The Nixpkgs committers are people who have been given permission to merge.
Most contributions are based on and merged into these branches:
master
is the main branch where all small contributions gostaging
is branched from master, changes that have a big impact on Hydra builds go to this branchstaging-next
is branched from staging and only fixes to stabilize and security fixes with a big impact on Hydra builds should be contributed to this branch. This branch is merged into master when deemed of sufficiently high quality

Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
