9999years wrote some docs for it but they were in a pr that was rejected for containing guide level docs
I actually started messing around with that and got stuck in a rabbit hole to refactor callPackage...

This is the PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/270696
I think it's dishonest to call that rejected. I just said that part of that PR should go to nix.dev instead. I even mentioned that the content is looking good.

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilBtw I'm fairly lenient with documentation (at least recently). I don't really care about how stuff is written down exactly. I just check some basic stuff like if it's in the right place, if it's correct, etc. As long as that's the case, I'm willing to merge doc changes03:52:45
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilThis is in contrast to actual interface changes in the code, which are full of intricacies that we can't easily revert once committed. So I take much more care in reviewing such PRs :)03:54:31
@charles:computer.surgeryCharleshttps://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/264621#issuecomment-1910806642 this kind of thing should probably go in the nixos manual shouldn't it? (i thought i'd ask here first since i don't want to comment on this PR just to be wrong lol)04:34:02
