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:scs.ems.host | 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 |

Anyone knows how impureEnvVars Work?
