@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerk *

The situation is pretty cursed due to how I messed it up before merging the (hopefully final) fix. Jan Tojnar and I just looked into it and there is no meaningful hotfix except waiting for nixos.org to be redeployed.

Redirects with .html suffixes seem not to work because maybe nix.dev doesn't have Netlify Pretty URLs enabled - or maybe the feature doesn't work as one would expect, or maybe it interacts in weird ways with redirects. This is all very confusing

@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de Not sure if this has been reported already but google tends to give me URLs like https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/builtins which redirect and 404 now 09:55:14

Looks like intra-manual redirects are borked too: https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/expressions/language-constructs.html#functions redirects to https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/language/language-constructs.html#functions instead of https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/language/constructs#functions
That particular bit is still broken, will look into it in a quiet minute

@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_think it's ok for me to backport https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317575 to 24.05? it doesn't actually document anything new, all of these flags are already in 24.0511:59:12

@getpsyched:matrix.orggetpsyched I was wondering what's the status of PR review material in nixpkgs. So far, I've seen some points put in nixos/README.md and pkgs/README.md for reviewing contributions. Are there any other "official" or community efforts on this? 12:04:37

These are the only places, to my knowledge.

@getpsyched:matrix.orggetpsychedHmm. It might be worthwhile making a single resource where all of these things are combined as a comprehensive guide. I'm willing to take this on sometime soon. Wondering what would be a good place to put it; Maybe a dedicated project or, better yet, a wiki page 🤔 14:31:59

@proofconstruction:matrix.orgproofconstructionDepends on what you mean by PR review materials, really. Guidelines for what to look for when reviewing? In any case, information scoped to a particular project should live in that project’s repo.20:47:06

@getpsyched:matrix.orggetpsyched

In any case, information scoped to a particular project should live in that project’s repo.

Yeah I don't mean project-specific quirks.

Guidelines for what to look for when reviewing?

At the crux of it, yes. Most of the basic conventions are known by most people but a lot of the relatively "newer" things like not overusing pname, or any other quirks specific to helper functions et al.

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil getpsyched: Check out https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/245243 15:36:00
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI think it would be best to continue with the effort to clean up the contributor docs, there's still a lot of work to be done15:36:16
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil E.g. pkgs/README.md is rather messy 15:36:46
