| Fernando | hello, how do I get a link to one of the nix manual sections, that is not bound to an specific nix version? I want to get the latest derivations page, not specific to 2.18 https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/language/derivations | 09:39:17 |
 toonn | Fernando: I think you can substitute `stable` for the version number. | 10:01:45 |
| Fernando | perfect, thank you | 11:36:24 |
| Fernando | perhaps it could be useful to have some little icon at the bottom of the page or something, that copies that 😄 | 11:36:52 |

nix-build --check flag is not documented in nix manual https://nix.dev/manual/nix/latest/command-ref/nix-build.html Thanks for the pointer. Please open an issue on GitHub so we don't lose track of it | 09:27:52 |
| loudgolem | ok I will check if any existing issues exist or create one | 09:29:48 |
| loudgolem | Redacted or Malformed Event | 09:31:16 |
| loudgolem | * seems there is one already by you, https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7981 | 09:31:30 |

| fricklerhandwerk | Ah thanks, I didn't find it on a quick skim | 09:34:42 |
| loudgolem | what is the current ongoing documentation effort, I mean what is being worked on?
where can I follow it? | 09:39:22 |
| loudgolem | ok I found what has been done recently https://discourse.nixos.org/search?q=This%20Month%20in%20Nix%20Docs%20in%3Atitle%20order%3Alatest_topic | 09:49:36 |

where can I follow it? It’s been a bit quiet around the team recently, and the project board is out of date. There are a few isolated efforts here and there, and I keep reviewing PRs. Any help is greatly appreciated - if you want to pick up or start something, we can supply all the information you need to get going | 18:59:37 |

| loudgolem | let me know if there is something similar already, I couldn't find it in my brief search | 20:39:45 |

I've added a broken link checker github workflow to nixos wiki infra recently and plan to do something similar to find broken/outdated links in nixpkgs as a maintainer script. In the Nixpkgs and NixOS manuals, internal references are already checked. You could run lychee impurely to check external links though | 20:40:55 |

| loudgolem | yes, external links in manuals is what I was thinking, also checking meta.homepage meta.changelog if possible for all packages | 20:42:12 |
| fricklerhandwerk | The Nix manual could need help with internal references though:
