 proofconstruction | Nice to log on to that win today | 17:47:17 |
 @zmitchell:matrix.org | An idea I had from one of the comments would be to create a list of “practice packages” selected from nixpkgs and grouped by difficulty to serve as a list of packaging exercises | 21:19:11 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | Under each listing you could even have a `details` tag providing different hints so users don’t have to spoil themselves looking up the full build definition in nixpkgs | 21:21:13 |

 alejandrosame | Just finished writing the issue I mentioned during the last meeting -> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/250376 . I'll start applying the new structure to the Python section starting tomorrow. If you take a look and have any feedback, I'll gladly read it! | 16:12:10 |

 @mightyiam:matrix.org | Sorry. Can't make it today. See you next time. | 14:27:04 |
 infinisil | Here's the next "This month in Nix docs" draft update: https://pad.lassul.us/BQletwJYRkWAVZ9HY76kGA, does this look to everyone? | 15:16:26 |
| infinisil | Did we miss any highlights? | 15:17:30 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | Since I missed July I was just going to do them both at the end of August. I think it’s premature to do August since the month isn’t over yet. | 17:28:05 |
| infinisil | zmitchell: Ah right you're still here, we weren't sure in the meeting :) | 17:38:05 |
| infinisil | I don't think it matters much when we do it, and if we miss a month I'd say it would be better to get it out sooner than later, it shouldn't be a problem to not have it aligned to months | 17:39:01 |
| infinisil | Feel free to decide yourself though | 17:39:28 |
| proofconstruction | Could always silently rename the series to "Last Month in Nix..." | 17:49:26 |
| @zmitchell:matrix.org | I would prefer to just do it at the end of the month, and then try to be better about not forgetting (it’s even on my calendar to do it 🙄) | 18:13:11 |

Did we miss any highlights? I'd consider devmode (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243062) a highlight given that it makes working on the manuals a more pleasant task. | 16:14:08 |
| alejandrosame | Also, I made a tiny update to the credits of OR | 16:25:03 |

| asymmetric | what do you think about this? https://github.com/asymmetric/nixpkgs/blob/doc-support-tiers-redux/doc/stdenv/platform-support.chapter.md | 16:11:47 |
| asymmetric | it's a lightweight version of my previous draft pr, trying to avoid getting to deep in the weeds of which platforms belongs to which tier, whihc was proving quixotic | 16:13:16 |
 raitobezarius | i686-linux should appear in that doc | 17:47:17 |
| raitobezarius | We do have minimal (as in minimal image) support for i686-linux atm | 17:47:31 |
| raitobezarius | We should probably invite people who want to get involved in i686 maintenance to step up as we are slowly going the road of removing i686 | 17:47:46 |

i686-linux should appear in that doc How/where would you mention it? | 17:51:30 |
| asymmetric | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
We should probably invite people who want to get involved in i686 maintenance to step up as we are slowly going the road of removing i686 Then I'm not sure it's worth adding it to this doc | 17:51:45 |
| raitobezarius | We have folks asking for i686 every time and then | 17:52:01 |
