Hi! As part of our roadmap changes, we’ve decided to focus on providing our ground-up alternative for nixpkgs rather than duplicating work with the Lix project.

If you’re using this repository, we suggest you install Lix by following their install guide!

If you’re interested in why we chose this, we’ve made a full update of our roadmap on our forums which goes further into the detail of this and several other decisions.

Thanks, The Auxolotl steering committee.
