pixelfog: you can also build the manual for your exact nixpkgs version by running nix-build path/to/nixpkgs/doc Linux Hackerman: I'll attach a screenshot of what happens when I try to build the 18.09 docs using 20.09 tools. | 18:57:49 |

| Linux Hackerman | pixelfog: huh, works for me. You're on 6a3f5bcb061e1822f50e299f5616a0731636e4e7 with no changes? | 19:20:42 |
| Linux Hackerman | oh right, I'm on 21.05, not 20.09, but it looks like you are too | 19:21:01 |
| pixelfog | Correct...on 6a3f5b, and 21.05. Oh...interesting. You said "no changes?", so in my nixpkgs tree, I ran "git clean -ndx", and there were a bunch of generated files in the doc/ tree. So I ran "git clean -fdx", and then "nix-build ./doc", and the manual built successfully. Woohoo! | 19:25:41 |
| pixelfog | Thanks! | 19:27:10 |

| edlimerkaj | Hi everyone, I hope you all are doing great. I'm very new to this community and I'm not sure whether this is the right discussion to join to ask questions, but I'm giving it a try. I am currently trying to build a Go package and I'm trying to use buildFlagsArray, which from my understanding can be used to pass the same options as go build. Even though I'm not sure how to pass more than one option, so let's say "-X ..." and "-o ...". Is that possible? Also, can somebody please provide me with any explanation about the "-s" and "-w" options passed to buildFlagsArray. I was not able to find anything relatable to this in the nix manual or pills, so didn't know where else to ask.
Thank you so much for your time in advance. | 09:25:57 |
 infinisil | edlimerkaj: Both this channel and #nix-lang:nixos.org are the wrong place to ask. For help with nix/nixpkgs you'll want to ask in #nix:nixos.org | 10:47:24 |
| edlimerkaj | Sure, thank you for letting me know. | 10:48:53 |

 Domen Kožar | as I wrote https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image I got a question where are all modules inputs documented, are they anywhere? | 13:37:16 |
| Domen Kožar | I couldn't find it | 13:37:19 |

as I wrote https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image I got a question where are all modules inputs documented, are they anywhere? Why sync at the end? 🧐 | 13:42:30 |
| Domen Kožar | dd doesn't ensure things are written to the disk | 13:43:40 |
| Domen Kožar | almost no program does that and given that you're likely to unplug it very soon.. | 13:44:15 |
| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Yeah good point! 🙂 | 13:44:37 |
| infinisil | domenkozar: You mean the lib, config, options, etc..? | 14:39:07 |
| Domen Kožar | yeah | 14:39:33 |
| infinisil | domenkozar: I don't think they're documented anywhere, but in general NixOS modules, these three are always there | 14:40:22 |
| infinisil | But you can have arbitrary others via _module.args, specialArgs or args | 14:41:00 |
| infinisil | NixOS specifically sets some more, like _module.args.pkgs, specialArgs.modulesPath, args.{baseModules,extraModules,modules} | 14:41:54 |
| infinisil | I think that's all of them, relevant file is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix | 14:42:16 |
| Domen Kožar | infinisil: could you add that to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/132419 | 14:43:44 |
| infinisil | Yeah can do | 14:44:14 |
| Domen Kožar | thanks! | 14:53:04 |

| David Arnold (blaggacao) | Does anybody associate a certain known failure mode with such strange example rendering? | 03:17:44 |
| 5 Aug 2021 |
 Jan Tojnar | David Arnold: your renderer needs to support literalExample, e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/71b64e83077762aa44c6c7346e913c9bacb9fa73/nixos/lib/make-options-doc/options-to-docbook.xsl#L66-L68 | 07:31:17 |
