## Automatic Building
Users who are _trusted_ (see: ./config.public.json) or _known_ (see:
./config.known-users.json) will have their PRs automatically trigger
builds if their commits follow the well-defined format of Nixpkgs.

## Trusted Users vs Known Users
Known users have their builds executed on platforms with working
sandboxing. At the time of writing, that means:
- `x86_64-linux`
- `aarch64_linux`
Trusted users have their builds executed on _all_ platforms, even if
they don't have good sandboxing. This opens the host up to a higher
risk of security issues, so only well known, trusted member of the
community should be added to the trusted user list.
At the time of writing, trusted users have their builds run on the
following platforms:
- `x86_64-linux`
- `aarch64_linux`
- `x86_64-darwin`
See ./config.public.json and ./config.known-users.json for a list of
all the trusted and known users.
