Zero Hydra Failures: 25.11 Edition

Hi everyone,

today we are starting the Zero Hydra Failures (in short ZHF) campaign for the upcoming NixOS release 25.11 (“Xantusia”).

This campaign focuses on stabilization of the package set and tests for the upcoming release planned for 2025-11-30. This campaign ends then.

You can find more information and detailed instructions over on GitHub in the issue #457852.

Thank you for your work :purple_heart:

Is there a good way for people without nixpkgs github write permissions to add the 0.kind: ZHF Fixes label to PRs? I know the rust-lang org has a gh bot that lets users assign labels by commenting with a bot command. Maybe the label should automatically be assigned for any PR containing ZHF: #457852 in the description?

You don’t need write permissions, triage is enough. Every member of the nixpkgs-maintainers team has these.

Here’s how to become a maintainer: nixpkgs/maintainers at master · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
