| * linux: new workflow for kernel changes•••See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/437208#issuecomment-3288623669 Depends on https://github.com/NixOS/org/pull/172 As documented below, the idea is to essentially group all changes rebuilding all VM tests with kernel updates and merge them together into `master` whenever the Linux kernels get updated. This documents the workflow of updates in the nixpkgs manual. While at it, I removed the README from the packages because * it's horribly outdated * I didn't even know it exists which confirms that its discoverability was very poor and added the relevant portions into the nixpkgs manual as well.

* CONTRIBUTING: default to non-blocking comments•••By making blocking comments explicit, it will be easier to discard certain nits. Wolfgang Walther2025-08-311-1/+9
* CONTRIBUTING: clarify pushing to others' PRs is allowed•••While squash-merges have been discouraged from already, they become impossible to do when the Merge Queue is enabled. In certain scenarios it was tolerated to use these, however, thus we introduce an acceptable replacement instead. By making explicit that pushing to contributors PRs is allowed by default, it should be easier for committers to do so. Wolfgang Walther2025-08-311-2/+9

* CONTRIBUTING: add section on getting your PR merged•••This serves as an overview of the process as we currently live it and as a guide for getting it done quickly and efficiently for people who haven't been contributing to Nixpkgs for many years. The intention is to document how the process currently works, set expectations right, provide recommendations on getting through the process and motivate people to help us committers help them better. Win-win for everyone. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin@fricklerhandwerk.de> Co-authored-by: Leona Maroni <dev@leona.is> Atemu2024-10-171-5/+125

* CONTRIBUTING: offer clearer guidelines about blocker vs. non-blocker issues (...•••We sometimes have reviews that are blocked because of miscommunication between author and reviewer, we make this clear so that reviewers and authors can refer to a block of "authoritative" text to unblock their own situations.

* treewide: Switch markdown placeholder from "..." to <...>•••We use angle brackets since they look a lot like a placeholder while also being valid nix code, as suggested by roberth here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/299554#discussion_r1541797970 Janne Heß2024-03-281-6/+6
* treewide: Fix all Nix ASTs in all markdown files•••This allows for correct highlighting and maybe future automatic formatting. The AST was verified to work with nixfmt only. Janne Heß2024-03-281-46/+58
* CONTRIBUTING.md: change table column order for staging•••The graph right above the table has the order as `master` ⇒ `staging-next` ⇒ `staging`. This corresponds with the workflow, i.e. automatic merges happen in that direction and the manual merging is in reverse direction of that. As a first time reader of this document the table was very confusing due to the disparity of that. With this change the table should read more fluently for people not familiar with the workflow since the table follows the step-by-step flow of commits.

* CONTRIBUTING.md: Sandboxing is enabled by default on Linux•••The fact that sandboxing is already enabled by default is mentioned in the pull request template. Hence, it might be confusing to ask to enable sandboxing in CONTRIBUTING.md. Also follow the `one sentence per line` guideline.
