!!! warning
dream2nix is unstable software. While simple UX is one of our main focus points, the APIs are still under development. Do expect changes that will break your setup.
### legacy dream2nix
Dream2nix is currently in the process of being refactored to make use of drv-parts. Not all features and subsystems are migrated yet. If you prefer continue using the `makeFlakeOutputs` interface, please refer to the [legacy branch](https://github.com/nix-community/dream2nix/tree/legacy) of dream2nix.
### Funding
This project was funded through the [NGI Assure](https://nlnet.nl/assure) Fund, a fund established by [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) with financial support from the European Commission's [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu/) programme, under the aegis of DG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under grant agreement No 957073. **Applications are still open, you can [apply today](https://nlnet.nl/propose)**.

### Goals
dream2nix focuses on the following aspects:
- Modularity
- Customizability
- Maintainability
- Code de-duplication across 2nix solutions
- Common UI across 2nix solutions
- Reduce effort to develop new 2nix solutions
- Exploration and adoption of new nix features
- Simplified updating of packages
The goal of this project is to create a standardized, generic, modular framework for automated packaging solutions, aiming for better flexibility, maintainability and usability.
The intention is to integrate many existing 2nix converters into this framework, thereby improving many of the previously named aspects and providing a unified UX for all 2nix solutions.
