@getpsyched:matrix.orggetpsyched I was wondering what's the status of PR review material in nixpkgs. So far, I've seen some points put in nixos/README.md and pkgs/README.md for reviewing contributions. Are there any other "official" or community efforts on this? 12:04:37

These are the only places, to my knowledge.

@getpsyched:matrix.orggetpsychedHmm. It might be worthwhile making a single resource where all of these things are combined as a comprehensive guide. I'm willing to take this on sometime soon. Wondering what would be a good place to put it; Maybe a dedicated project or, better yet, a wiki page 🤔 14:31:59

@proofconstruction:matrix.orgproofconstructionDepends on what you mean by PR review materials, really. Guidelines for what to look for when reviewing? In any case, information scoped to a particular project should live in that project’s repo.20:47:06

In any case, information scoped to a particular project should live in that project’s repo.

Yeah I don't mean project-specific quirks.

Guidelines for what to look for when reviewing?

At the crux of it, yes. Most of the basic conventions are known by most people but a lot of the relatively "newer" things like not overusing pname, or any other quirks specific to helper functions et al.

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil getpsyched: Check out https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/245243 15:36:00
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI think it would be best to continue with the effort to clean up the contributor docs, there's still a lot of work to be done15:36:16
