 @bzzm3r:matrix.org | does the meeting usually start a little late? 😅 | 15:05:26 |
 danielsidhion | https://jitsi.lassul.us/nix-documentation
This is the link | 15:06:28 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | so this is the wrong link: https://meet.jit.si/nix-documentation! | 15:08:10 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | In reply to @bzzm3r:matrix.org
so this is the wrong link: https://meet.jit.si/nix-documentation! (this is in the readme) | 15:08:22 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | ah wait, that is because I was looking at the wrong commit 😆 | 15:12:37 |

| danielsidhion | I just started on my quest to modernize all the examples in the manual with the new admonition syntax, and the first file I opened ended up having a bunch of outdated and unneeded information, so I decided to take a bit more time and figure out the history of the changes and document things better: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/276029 | 10:59:26 |
| danielsidhion | I hope not all files end up like this lol
But the information on this one was pretty easy to understand by following a couple PR links and searching things on nixpkgs, so I ended up doing an almost full rewrite of the section.
Apologies for the added scope. | 11:00:37 |
| danielsidhion | (as a bonus, all examples in the file are full working examples - if I see the opportunity, I might continue doing things this way to make it easier in the future if/when we decide to start testing all examples in the manuals to make sure they work) | 11:02:27 |
 infinisil | danielsidhion: This is great! | 11:32:39 |
| danielsidhion | Also when going through this, I'm starting to create issues for extra work that is either more than I can do at the moment, or is stuff that I'd try to revisit at some point. It improves either the documentation or stuff in Nixpkgs, and I think it's the sort of thing bzm3r would love to have to work on issues with very specific scope. Here are two issues I opened from my rewrite of that section:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/276033
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/276034 | 11:34:35 |

|  raitobezarius changed their display name from raitobezarius to raitobezarius (DECT 2128). | 22:22:41 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/276034 danielsidhion: thank you! (I'm also very glad that you did decide to ping me re: looking into these issues) | 08:26:58 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | (so please feel free to continue to ping me on such stuff, both here, and on GitHub) | 08:28:52 |

|  Julien changed their display name from Julien to Julien - DECT 4575. | 20:03:43 |
| 26 Dec 2023 |
| danielsidhion | Also had to change a bit of content on this one, but at a way smaller scale: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/276821
When working on it, I realised the manual doesn't seem to follow a convention for shell commands and their outputs, and created the following issue to track this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/276829
I'll put this issue on the agenda for some meeting next year, but I'm hoping it won't take long to achieve consensus. Once we have one, I can add it to my list of "things to update while I go through every file of the nixpkgs manual". | 02:03:50 |
|  matthewcroughan @fosdem changed their display name from matthewcroughan - nix.how to matthewcroughan - Linux 6.7 When. | 16:48:35 |
| 27 Dec 2023 |
|  nikstur changed their display name from nikstur to nikstur (DECT 5643). | 09:49:16 |

|  Chris McDonough joined the room. | 13:03:47 |
| Chris McDonough | hi folks... fyi, i submitted a PR for improving trivial builder text-related functions at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/277534 ...i'd appreciate it if someone could review it and maybe merge? | 13:05:23 |

 asymmetric | Robert Hensing (roberth): about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/167670#issuecomment-1872501084, do you mean that you'd like to see more documentation before this is exposed to users? | 10:54:19 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | Just to set expectations in the recap | 10:54:44 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I think it's sufficiently documented | 10:54:53 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Though maybe the part about it consisting of a single derivation isn't actually | 10:55:34 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | hmm | 10:55:38 |
| asymmetric | Robert Hensing (roberth): afaict this is ready to be merged, do you agree? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/277171 | 11:42:19 |
| asymmetric | if so i'll reopen and merge | 11:42:22 |
