And also the glue code is hardly separable from the content structure that it helps produce I think I have the opposite intuition -- most of nixpkgs is code to orchestrate builds that is separated from the origin (i.e. upstream.) So when there's orchestration of builds within nixpkgs, my intuition is that separating it is normal and expected.
Since nixpkgs building on nixpkgs is a rare occurrence (mostly maintainers/, doc/, and nixos/) I doubt there's a pattern to it.
I'll follow your guidance, though.

 toraritte | hey, are there any active work going on the Nixpkgs manual's overrides and overlays sections? I only found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/255132 (doc: Improve overlays section) on the documentation team's project board (https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/15/views/1) | 01:29:42 |

hey, are there any active work going on the Nixpkgs manual's overrides and overlays sections? I only found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/255132 (doc: Improve overlays section) on the documentation team's project board (https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/15/views/1) Related ongoing work by Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/325479 | 15:24:25 |
 Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki | Is there some section that explains what nixpkgs is and how it works. By that i mean - How is nixpgs bootstrapped, what are packageSets, scopes and why can packageA use packageB as buildInput if they are defined in the same package set. (fixed point recursion) | 15:47:15 |
| infinisil | I don't think so | 16:12:03 |
| infinisil | Notably what Nixpkgs is should be in the Nixpkgs manual, while how it works should arguably be in the contribution docs | 16:12:30 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: for nixdoc so that it gets picked up in noogle.dev, where do I land the documentation?
I'm specifically interested in fetchFromGitHub
