 @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | infinisil: fricklerhandwerk
It seems all documentation jobs from the last 4 hrs kept failing in nixpks. Who could take a look at cachix?
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/actions/workflows/manual-nixpkgs.yml
Binary cache nixpkgs-ci doesn't exist or it's private and you need a token: Start by visiting https://app.cachix.org and create a personal/cache auth token.
To configure the token:
a) Via environment variable:
$ export CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN=<token...>
b) Via configuration file:
$ cachix authtoken <token...>::error::Action failed with error: Error: The process '/home/runner/.nix-profile/bin/cachix' failed with exit code 1

 infinisil | Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki Oh that's odd, no idea about that. Can you open an issue and ping the original authors of the workflow? | 09:24:43 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | No codeowners found. I'll notify the workflow admins mic92 and zowoq | 09:32:17 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Problem found. jonas deleted the cache ^^.
He'll recreate it now 😃 | 09:38:42 |
| infinisil | Docs team meeting now, anybody joining? https://jitsi.lassul.us/nix-documentation | 14:04:18 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Sorry cannot make it. | 14:08:37 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | But if anyone could review the other nixdoc pr i opened recently | 14:09:02 |
| @johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host | Ah just saw infinisil already requested changes | 14:09:43 |
| infinisil | danielsidhion: If you want I can give you an email invite for the doc team meetings, you can PM me an email for that | 15:30:36 |
 @pennae:matrix.eno.space | infinisil while you're at it, can you remove us from the invite list? | 15:36:04 |
| infinisil | pennae: Yeah, though I'm not sure which email is yours, I can't find a pennae one | 15:37:24 |
| infinisil | I tried out something new with the google calendar event: I turned off the ability to see who's invited. This was rarely necessary and I believe it's what might be causing the emails getting sent every time a new person is invited | 15:52:39 |
| infinisil | danielsidhion: I just removed somebody inactive from the invites, did you get an update email for that? | 15:54:59 |
| infinisil | ^^ Or anybody else that has been getting update emails before | 15:55:24 |
| infinisil | wamirez: I think you might have gotten update emails in the past, could you check? ^ | 16:05:25 |
| infinisil | * wamirez: I think you might have gotten update emails in the past, could you check that you don't anymore? ^ | 16:05:40 |
 danielsidhion | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org
danielsidhion: I just removed somebody inactive from the invites, did you get an update email for that? Didn't get any update emails | 16:13:33 |
| infinisil | Nice, I think this might work then | 16:37:43 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | quick thought: maybe reconsider calling everything a manual? Although it seems to be possible to call reference material "manual", the word often refers to more guide-like material | 09:33:27 |
| danielsidhion | I think the term "manual" is orthogonal to the purpose of the material. Both nix and nixpkgs manuals are actually named "reference manual" to explain their purpose (to be a reference). Personally I think the word "guide" is way more popular to refer to guide-like material (e.g. "user guide"). | 10:55:57 |
| danielsidhion | Sometimes people do use the term "manual" in the form "user manual" to refer to guide-like material, though | 10:56:35 |
| danielsidhion | Do you have a suggestion that would make things clearer? | 10:56:58 |
| danielsidhion | As for the nixos manual - I'd agree with renaming it to nixos user guide or nixos user manual or something like that | 10:59:02 |
| danielsidhion | Maybe "nix(pkgs) reference (material|documentation|book)" and "nixos user guide", and avoid any misunderstanding with the word manual entirely? | 11:02:36 |
 @anderson_torres:matrix.org | What we have that would be equiv to A handbook? | 12:59:10 |
| infinisil | Maybe just "Nix[pkgs] reference" | 18:31:47 |
| @anderson_torres:matrix.org | * What we have that would be equiv to a handbook? | 21:28:46 |
