 infinisil | Yup there it is: https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/803#issuecomment-1821480699 :D | 18:56:28 |
 asymmetric | we would probably have to disable github deployments altogether (needs an admin) to get rid of that message | 18:56:59 |
| infinisil | The message is still there though 🤔 | 18:57:02 |
| asymmetric | In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk
it did deploy to netlify, it's just that github doesn't know about it yeah it's because of this | 18:57:18 |
| infinisil | Yeah, let's see if there's a setting for this in a personal repo | 18:57:23 |
| * infinisil can't find any setting | 19:02:11 |
| infinisil | But it's probably related to "Environments" | 19:02:41 |

 @olafklingt:matrix.org | I am trying to improve the reproducible nixos-generate-config. it would be nice if we could not reproduce the installer configuration but by use the installer configuration as defined in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-graphical-base.nix ... but i have no idea how to do that. (i already commented on this on the ticket but i think here is a better place if someone has an idea) | 15:46:22 |

| @olafklingt:matrix.org | what i don't want to do is this because one would need to have a copy of nixpkgs around:
nix-shell -p "with (import ./. {}); (nixos { imports = [./nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-graphical-gnome.nix ]; }).config.system.build.nixos-generate-config" | 16:30:24 |

| @olafklingt:matrix.org | Artturin: thank you. thats much more straightforward than i thought. | 23:08:43 |
| infinisil | Having tutorials in a separate repo is actually kind of terrible because you can't introduce a feature and also mention it in a tutorial at the same time, you instead need two PRs | 23:22:26 |
| infinisil | And with the current rendering pipeline it's especially terrible because you can't link to the reference manuals until the channels advanced | 23:22:58 |

 @adam:robins.wtf | Are there thoughts about combining them? | 00:25:14 |
| infinisil | adamcstephens 🐝: I think most people are onboard with that idea, but nobody has the resources and knowledge to execute it! | 00:29:40 |
| infinisil | Well, the basic idea being that you render from multiple sources | 00:30:12 |

| @tejing:matrix.org | I'm working on a nixos module to improve the UX of trying to run ELF binaries not made for nixos: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269551
I've quickly realized I need a documentation entry point to link to, since explaining everything people want to know makes the message too long. Afaik there isn't really a proper place for that currently.
Any thoughts on where this really should live? | 04:52:16 |

Any thoughts on where this really should live? there is a section of nix.dev that is called "guides" | 05:55:55 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | which has a section called "recipes" | 05:56:39 |
| @bzzm3r:matrix.org | would this fit there? | 05:56:46 |
| @tejing:matrix.org | That's certainly a better place than I'd thought of yet. Another possibility is to add something directly on https://nixos.org/learn, maybe? Perhaps both. We want accessibility, since this is the most likely reason for a nixos user to start learning the nix language and getting deeper into the nix ecosystem, but nix.dev does seem like a better place for the guide to actually live. | 06:14:56 |
