Project status / maintenance update?

[oneingan]

Hi divnix/std maintainers,

I wanted to ask about the current maintenance status / roadmap. Activity in the repo has seemed a bit quieter lately (e.g. last code push appears to be around 2025-08, with a number of open issues still pending), so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of ongoing support.

Thanks!

I don't use std now; but I am still using hive daily

I went in the opposite direction, I moved away from Hive to Clan Machines (and I'm even considering developing a custom Clan block type) while I still rely on std for my SLDC workflows, covering everything from development through to chart deployment. The CI auto-discovery feature has been working great for me too.

I also recently started experimenting with agentic development workflows, and I've found that giving agents the instruction to "run std to see what's available in this repo" is a total game changer. It gives them instant context about the codebase

Based on a true story (that may be in prod right now):

The response I got when contributing to divnix/nix-book a couple of years ago is that at least @jonringer's efforts were aimed at https://github.com/ekala-project/ which I've heard him still mention as late as the last Nix Freaks #17 podcast episode (implicitly in the context of a nixpkgs fork).

yea, unfortunately blaggacao and nrdxp have stepped away from FOSS for the short term.
