I can have a look as it's caused by my pr
Oh, thanks! Looks good, much easier to read and still in color scheme.

@olafklingt:matrix.org@olafklingt:matrix.org fricklerhandwerk: this commit https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/940/commits/b556495361e12a9e81adc8080e362ea032b1e123 reverts the change i made to find a middle ground between having the command in the text and removing it. is this on purpose? 16:46:40
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkThe NixOS admonition and the footnote were essentially the same thing, and the footnote requires jumping around. Or did we miss something? I’ll fix up the breakage of course16:50:03

the jumping implied by a footnote highlights that its not part of the flow of argument. but keeping the reference helps to move between parts of the documentation.

I'm going through the packaging tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/packaging-existing-software.html and evaluating the example skeleton derivation gives a error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting end of file. Is this a typo?

{ stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {	};

# shouldn't it be this instead
❯ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '{ stdenv }: stdenv.mkDerivation {}'
<LAMBDA>
