Addresses two review comments — different reviewers, same direction:
* @SuperSandro2000 on the original PR #528150 (line 118 of
pkgs/by-name/ol/ollama/package.nix): "Why are we not using tag if
there is a tag?". Drop the SHA + `# tag b9509` shape that required
reviewers to cross-check the SHA matched the inline comment.
* @prusnak on this follow-up #528374: "I think we should use `tag`
instead of `rev`." `fetchFromGitHub`'s dedicated `tag` field is
preferred over `rev = "<tag-string>"` — same git object, same
tarball, same hash, but signals intent at the schema level and
renders into the store path nicely.
* Line 113 prose comment (the other half of SuperSandro's review on
#528150): "We should not repeat the version in this comment and
have to update that, too, on every update." Drop `currently b9509`
from the prose; the remaining text explains the mechanism (tracks
upstream's `LLAMA_CPP_VERSION` file, pre-staged because
FetchContent can't network in the sandbox) without naming a
specific version that would drift on every bump.
Pure source-readability change. `nix-build -A ollama --no-out-link`
on x86_64-linux produces the same store path as master, confirming
the tag resolves to the same git object → same tarball → same hash
→ no rebuild impact.
The same lines exist on `release-26.05` via the original backport
#528272; happy to mirror this fix there if you apply the
`backport release-26.05` label.

Other Project Repositories
The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- nixos-hardware - NixOS profiles to optimize settings for different hardware
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
- hydra - our continuous integration system
- NixOS Branding - NixOS branding
Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 26.05 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 26.05 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem like a lot at first, it helps to consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.
For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.
Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
You can donate to the NixOS Foundation through SEPA bank transfers or by using Open Collective:
