Abstract

Nix and Nixpkgs are gaining ever-broader adoption at the same time that SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials) are emerging as a standard format for demonstrating provenance. This talk will argue that bridging the gap is imperative for the Nix ecosystem, illustrate a fleshed-out approach to SBOM generation. This will suggest some improvements to Nixpkgs that I believe could unlock further progress.
