"SLAM is neither Free Software or Open Source. SLAM is released under the terms of the Peer Production License. This limits use to individual users, non-commercial entities, and other worker owned cooperatives"

Would be really great if
> nix run codeberg:user/repo
was possible. It works for #GitLab and #GitHub already. #Codeberg should also work. Instead, one needs to write this unergonomic thing:
> nix run git+ssh://[email protected]/<user>/<repo>

SLAM: s6/synit based NixOS
NixOS Home Manager users may find this useful!
It lets you have .desktop files, basically shortcuts, to any application you can run via nix, without actually having to install them. They're pulled in at runtime, using the same magic as you use when doing nix run.

All releases are available, installers were published, Nixpkgs small channels contains the fixes, patches are available. We recommend you upgrade at the earliest if you are at risk (see the additional guidance section).

Security researchers have found a security issue in Lix. This issue has been assigned CVE-2026-44028. Important note : The issues are different between Lix and CppNix but it seems there was confusion in MITRE who emitted the CVE and copied the wrong information which should have gone into the CppNix CVE, we are trying to update the CVE metadata.
