| Chris McDonough | hi folks... fyi, i submitted a PR for improving trivial builder text-related functions at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/277534 ...i'd appreciate it if someone could review it and maybe merge? | 13:05:23 |

 asymmetric | Robert Hensing (roberth): about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/167670#issuecomment-1872501084, do you mean that you'd like to see more documentation before this is exposed to users? | 10:54:19 |
| asymmetric | * Robert Hensing (roberth): about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/167670#issuecomment-1872501084, do you mean that you'd like to see more documentation before this is exposed to lots users via 2023 recap? | 10:54:32 |

 Robert Hensing (roberth) | Just to set expectations in the recap | 10:54:44 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | I think it's sufficiently documented | 10:54:53 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Though maybe the part about it consisting of a single derivation isn't actually | 10:55:34 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | hmm | 10:55:38 |
| asymmetric | Robert Hensing (roberth): afaict this is ready to be merged, do you agree? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/277171 | 11:42:19 |
| asymmetric | if so i'll reopen and merge | 11:42:22 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | maybe I overreacted. The pr was probably fine | 11:43:52 |
| Chris McDonough | asymmetric: i have something of a competing PR (a bit silly) at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/277534 ... i think it atually addresses most of your comments, but likely none of Robert's | 12:17:51 |
| Chris McDonough | i think it improves on the original PR by specifying whether the derivaion produced will be a file or a directory, and demonstrates how you might use bare writeTextFile to do the job of each writeText*/writeScript*/writeShellScript* function | 12:20:16 |
| Chris McDonough | it also breaks out each function into a top-level thing | 12:20:52 |
| Chris McDonough | ah nevermind i did not notice it was already merged. i will propose another pr against master. | 12:24:47 |
| Chris McDonough | or was it? i guess he just closed it instead. | 12:29:52 |
|  Julien changed their display name from Julien - DECT 4575 to Julien. | 18:43:51 |
|  raitobezarius changed their display name from raitobezarius (DECT 2128) to raitobezarius. | 19:53:20 |

 aos | Hey y'all - quick question: is there a way to build the nixpkgs manual using the provided flake? I see in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/34d3d09834b52db5da25fb6f36055f4971709ee3/flake.nix#L57-L62 that the output: htmlDocs is exposed, but I don't think it's possible to build it? I tried nix build .#htmlDocs on a local checkout of nixpkgs repo, but that doesn't work | 17:28:51 |
