 @olafklingt:matrix.org | where do i find the functions pkgs.nixos and pkgs.path in the nixpkgs manual? only found nixos but pkgs.path nowhere. | 13:54:26 |
 infinisil | olaf: When you're looking for Nixpkgs docs, the question shouldn't be "Where is", but rather "Is there" xD | 18:39:04 |
| infinisil | Sounds like PR material to me! | 18:39:31 |
| @olafklingt:matrix.org | Yes it should be in nixpkgs manual. | 18:43:11 |
| @olafklingt:matrix.org | I added a commit to the vm tutorial pr with a detailed description of the reproducable command. It's not finished yet but i would like to know if it is the right direction to add such a description. https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/807/commits/ff5c7fad92acc9deb4fcd40d39eeb9300cd41cfa | 18:49:22 |

Yeah nixos-rebuild really can't do that, which is why I wrote a small wrapper in https://github.com/infinisil/sanix 🤩 | 23:49:51 |

 asymmetric | idk if this is the first outside contribution to nrd, but it's a good validation of the choice of moving to python that we got one, imo! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269942 | 15:36:38 |

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/announcing-nixlang-wiki/36049 😕 I saw this and wondered if there was something I could do to help the official docs team. So I'm here now as an experienced dev, but NixOS neophyte. Maybe I can help document stuff when I get stuck because the docs seem to have some decent assumed knowledge that I don't currently have. | 15:49:18 |
| curtismchale set a profile picture. | 15:53:48 |
| infinisil | curtismchale: Awesome! I think one of the easiest things to help out with is to just read through nix.dev, to both learn about Nix, and to discover the structure of nix.dev. And if you find any problems, anything that's unclear or doesn't work, file an issue in the github repo, or even better, submit a PR to fix it :) | 16:17:49 |
 Minijackson | hey! I've had someone skim through the Nix language basics tutorial of nix.dev, and he mentioned something quite interesting, there's no mention of the if ... then ... else ... construct | 17:42:46 |
| Minijackson | is there somewhere else where it's introduced ? | 17:43:00 |
| Minijackson | * is there somewhere else where it's introduced? | 17:43:01 |
| infinisil | Minijackson: Looks like an oversight! Could you open an issue for this? | 18:23:59 |
