 djacu | fricklerhandwerk: alejandrosame I took a look through the code and wrote a comment with a simplified version of the code. Let me know what you all think. | 06:41:06 |

| enn_ | 👋 I'm a low-ish knowledge nix user & I have an idea to improve the onboarding / learning experience. What is the best thing for me to read to understand your preferred way to receive such suggestions? The tldr is I've landed at https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/e0c94b91ee7b8dd30e669228c01f1b75179f1903/src/libcmd/installable-flake.cc#L195 . My fight back to where I should be is massively more difficult that it should be. I suspect I'm the exact class/type of idiot we should be able to make more productive here 🤣. As an aside, I saw a recent post about looking for folks to help with docs and blew it off, but apparently the universe has other ideas, and here I am 😅 | 17:51:29 |

For suggestions, typically they are made here, in a GitHub Issue, or by implementing the change and making a pull request to the appropriate repository. In all cases there will be an associated thread of comments and follow up suggestions. | 19:46:58 |

 Jan Tojnar | 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 | 07:20:48 |
| Jan Tojnar | Apparently, this https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/881 has not been ported to nix.dev fricklerhandwerk | 07:26:20 |
| fricklerhandwerk | In reply to @jtojnar:matrix.org
Apparently, this https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-homepage/pull/881 has not been ported to nix.dev fricklerhandwerk Possibly. That redirect logic is now in the Nix manual, apparently I didn't backport the changes far enough into the past | 07:27:46 |
| fricklerhandwerk | If anyone's interested I'll be in https://jitsi.lassul.us/nix-documentation in 30 min and take care of it | 07:28:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmm, weird, the rule is there https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/2bd66922eef1c41e74efe1cca722b0ee7d640af1/doc/manual/src/_redirects#L26 | 07:31:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | but for some reason it appears to take the fallback branch | 07:31:55 |
| Jan Tojnar | hmm, probably because of the .html suffix | 07:33:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/language/constructs.html | 08:17:06 |
| Jan Tojnar | * Looks like the pretty URLs does not do canonization. Here is a valid URL with HTML suffix – there is no redirect to strip it: https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.13/language/constructs.html | 08:19:06 |
| fricklerhandwerk | The situation is pretty cursed due to how I messed up the situation before merging the (hopefully final) fix. Jan Tojnar and I just looked into it and there is no meaningful hotfix except waiting nixos.org to be deployed.
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
