fricklerhandwerk: can you help me understand the redirects file? so for example, here i see a redirect, but if i try to go to the redirected url, it 404s. the same doesn't happen with for exapmle this line, which redirects correctly The redirects in the Nix manual source have no effect yet. We merged that only recently and the PR to set them up on nix.dev doesn’t work yet because last time I touched it we didn’t have the right Nix builds in the binary cache | 17:38:33 |
| fricklerhandwerk | So whatever you’re seeing happening on nixos.org is determined by the redirects there | 17:39:02 |

We merged that only recently and the PR to set them up on nix.dev doesn’t work yet because last time I touched it we didn’t have the right Nix builds in the binary cache the redirects do have an effect though? we must be talking about different things, because e.g. this line does have an effect, just in a surprising way, i.e. only if there's no .html extension, as i said above | 20:37:39 |

So whatever you’re seeing happening on nixos.org is determined by the redirects there ah ok, i get it, the redirect is coming from here | 20:43:16 |
| asymmetric | that also explains the .html behavior | 20:44:01 |

 danielsidhion | Made a PR to add some extra info on a particular section of the testers chapter in the manual, and I noticed that the other sections there aren't using the newer example syntax, so my changes look a bit out of place. I could just move all examples in that chapter to the new syntax, but idk if it'd be ok to do it all in the same PR. Appreciate any thoughts: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/275585
(I'll also be able to join the next meeting, so we could chat quickly about it there) | 08:04:35 |

 @bzzm3r:matrix.org | infinisil: (and others relevant) Based on my interpretation/understanding of how meetings work, I updated the collaborative scratchpad with agenda notes for the next meeting related to an issue that fricklerhandwerk invited me to discuss.
Please feel free to correct it/move it, if I have misunderstood where it is supposed to land.
I am not yet sure if I will show up to the meeting, due to other issues.

 infinisil | bzm3r: Sounds good to me :) | 22:53:19 |

| danielsidhion | Follow up PR to my previous question: migration of the other examples in this chapter to the new example style. I could use some help figuring out how to migrate that last example in the chapter. Too many names and concepts super close to each other making it harder. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/275791 | 08:51:48 |
| @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 |

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

|  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 |
