Zero Hydra Failures towards 26.11 NixOS release

November 10, 2026

PSA: NixOS-26.11 is about to be released by the end of November. Release process is in ZHF phase now where no major changes are allowed in master and most known failures are being fixed now.

ZHF issue has a nice step-by-step on how to find and fix a broken package.

I’ll not provide complete session compared to past example and will link a few ZHF fixes for this cycle here:

h5v
sapling
fedistar
fceux

All fixes are one-liners.

It’s a good time to contribute to nixpkgs if you never did and are thinking of it.

Have fun!
