 fricklerhandwerk | Hm, but does that build from the working directory? Why does one have to specify the version? | 17:40:29 |
 allrealmsoflife | it says:
❯ nix build .#nix^doc
error: derivation '/nix/store/hddqxzfqgx2fhj8q66ss3idym7pk7aj1-nix-2.26.0pre20250107_383ab87.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'doc'
Is it missing in the flake? the nix^doc as output? I'll check

Yeah it must be missing in the flake | 18:09:28 |
| allrealmsoflife | Simply running nix build .#nix-manual generates two outputs:
result: Contains the HTML manual, located at ./result/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html.result-man: Contains the compressed man pages, located in ./result-man/man1/*.gz.
Perhaps nix^doc was used in the past, but .#nix-manual is the correct output now.

| allrealmsoflife | Interesting, the nix^doc command does work in the nixpkgs root directory where it generates then the NixOS manual. I'm making a pr though | 08:18:16 |

| allrealmsoflife | I see, not sure then if changing to nix-manual is correct? I made a PR though for now | 08:55:14 |

I see, not sure then if changing to nix-manual is correct? I made a PR though for now The PR does the right thing. The most important part is that instructions are correct for each release, and primarily master | 09:45:25 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Thanks a lot for helping out, this is really valuable stuff. It prevents others from bailing out before even starting to contribute | 09:45:54 |
| allrealmsoflife | Thank you, very happy to help out, I actually stream while doing all this, it's fun, hey more PR's for me xD | 10:14:24 |
