I’m going to put together the “This Month in Nix Docs” today but I’ve been away for the last month. Anyone have suggestions for highlights?

Cool, thanks a lot! Some highlights:

  • A lot of us met at NixCon!
  • New section in the Nix manual: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/import-from-derivation
  • Reworked section on derivations in the Nix manual: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/language/derivations
  • We removed a bunch of mentions of nix-env in the Nixpkgs manual (which was not always trivial), and still going

@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric I would also mention this new chapter and use the opportunity to say that if anyone feels like bringing the platform support tier list from the RFC up to date and add it to the manual, they’re more than welcome and would be pretty nice 08:16:34

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil asymmetric: Manual backport would be doable 09:28:19
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetrichmm, we'd have to backport the whole nrd thing though as well, but yes doable. not sure if we'd end up with a frankenstein manual though, i'd need to be careful to include all patches that changed it? or do you have some other idea in mind?09:29:40
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil asymmetric: If it's not easy let's not do it 10:00:56
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilNot worth it :)10:01:05

It’s in my queue that’s way too long. Sorry for the unbounded delay. I’ll take care of it later today.
