 @enzime:nixos.dev | is there a reason https://nix.dev/manual/nix/stable/ points to 2.18? | 01:48:35 |
| @enzime:nixos.dev | should it be pointing to 2.24? | 01:49:15 |

is there a reason https://nix.dev/manual/nix/stable/ points to 2.18? * maybe fricklerhandwerk knows or could solve it | 09:23:28 |
 infinisil | nix.dev has pins that need to be updated | 09:23:46 |

is there a reason https://nix.dev/manual/nix/stable/ points to 2.18? See https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#updating-reference-manuals | 09:25:04 |
| infinisil | Although, it might only change once the new NixOS is released, check out https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/blob/master/nix/releases.nix for the logic behind it | 09:27:42 |

is there a reason https://nix.dev/manual/nix/stable/ points to 2.18? Also see here for what users should see: https://nix.dev/reference/nix-manual | 09:30:08 |
 emily | that page has "Shipped with the previous stable release" but I thought the support policy was that only the latest version + the version in stable NixOS were supported? so isn't that going to be pointing to the manual for an unsupported version soon? | 09:36:25 |
| emily | in light of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/359215 etc. | 09:36:52 |

 Mindavi | Has anyone ever benchmarked nix with huge pages? Does it help anything with evaluation? | 17:24:47 |

Uhm yes, but thatβs not a contradiction. Just because the previous Nixpkgs release ships Nix 2.18 it doesnβt mean we have to actively support it | 14:43:50 |

 Mic92 | emily: It would be a bit of a catch-22 if we could never remove a nix version that is still available in the previous nixpkgs version. It took unfortunally a bit to migrate all packages that were using nix 2.18 in nixpkgs. We will support nix 2.24 for sure. | 06:59:08 |
| Mic92 | I will try to also port all patches back for the important stuff that was still using 2.18 in the release. | 06:59:47 |

| Mic92 | Ah that was not the actual thing you asked actually | 07:02:11 |
| Mic92 | Well now it seems to point to nix 2.24. | 07:04:13 |
