@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) Folks, I'd like to expose the derivations under doc/default.nix in the pkgs namespace. Are there reasons that I'm missing that they're not exposed there today? 15:39:20
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) I see that pkgs/top-level/release.nix is the entry point for doc/default.nix. Other than the default variable there, I don't see where nixpkgs is actually filled out. 15:55:48
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Philip Taron (UTC-8): That nixpkgs is set by Hydra :) 16:51:18
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil I think I've seen some recent discussions about exposing doc/default.nix from pkgs, but I don't think there was a reason against not doing that 16:52:08
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilSeems fine to me!16:52:12
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil fricklerhandwerk: (unrelated to the above): We created @NixOS/documentation-reviewers as (docs team - Valentin) to limit your notifications, but I guess we don't need this anymore, right? If so I can remove it 16:55:57
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilNow opened https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/978 to remove the mention of documentation-reviewers17:07:37

This is a thoroughly cursed code path, I also ran into it recently. I think there is also some passing happening in flake.nix

There’s also something in the Nixpkgs contributing guide though?

Thanks for the pointer. I do see that nixpkgs = self now. Good to know...
