I’m new to Nix and wanted to get my feet wet by using the Nix package manager. However, I wasn’t sure how these packages were made. Are these packaged by the community? Who do I need to “trust” when installing these packages? In general, I was looking for info on how nix packages are made and maintained.

    Manually.

    There have been efforts to automate this partially but they’ve stalled.
