 fricklerhandwerk | The Nix manual could need help with internal references though:

 loudgolem | oh, I could've searched for lychee in issues, didn't realise it. I will look at those. | 20:44:38 |
| loudgolem | also do you think "checking meta.homepage meta.changelog if possible for all packages" makes sense? | 20:45:52 |
| loudgolem | since hydra will build almost all nixpkgs so those packages will fail right? | 20:46:37 |

also do you think "checking meta.homepage meta.changelog if possible for all packages" makes sense? in principle, but we have to be careful to rate limit that very tightly. it shouldn't run on every hydra job but more like once a month at most | 20:46:56 |
| fricklerhandwerk | and it shouldn't be a blocker for anything | 20:47:29 |
| fricklerhandwerk | What we could and should do is run linkchecks on all of our domains: nixos.org, nix.dev, ... | 20:48:28 |
| fricklerhandwerk | * What we could and should do is unconditionally run linkchecks on all of our domains: nixos.org, nix.dev, ... | 20:48:35 |
| fricklerhandwerk | * What we could and should do is more thoroughly run linkchecks on all of our domains: nixos.org, nix.dev, ... | 20:48:43 |
| fricklerhandwerk | (but probably also not every single time) | 20:49:09 |
| loudgolem | yes, scheduled github action (once/twice a month) makes sense, along with a maintainer script for running manually. | 20:55:11 |

What we could and should do is more thoroughly run linkchecks on all of our domains: nixos.org, nix.dev, ... nix.dev (incl nix manual), nixos-homepage, nix (+manual), nixpkgs (nixos, nixpkgs manuals), nixos-wiki-infra all seem to need the lychee checks.
maybe need to think about more than simply adding sheduled gha to all these repos? | 21:00:23 |

| fricklerhandwerk | (nix.dev has link checking and it regularly messes up builds because someone stops tolerating us hitting them) | 21:01:29 |
| loudgolem | I don't think lychee check should be a blocker anywhere, it should just be a like warnings/report. | 21:03:53 |
| fricklerhandwerk | * Sure. But adding checks as a first step is not wrong, it will prevent things from falling apart and gives us time to think | 21:03:56 |

| fricklerhandwerk | * Sure. But adding checks as a first step is not wrong, it will prevent things from falling apart while we're thinking | 21:04:21 |

(nix.dev has link checking and it regularly messes up builds because someone stops tolerating us hitting them) ok, linkcheck from sphinx. my experience with lychee with github urls even with github_token provided will still result in flaky 403 errors, I wonder how linkcheck is working fine | 21:11:42 |
