Ive come to assist with the nix docs issues. Time to read all the existing docs and tinker i think. Nix looks very cool and is the first program ive seen that makes me want to read the docs and actually help with fixing the issues.

The documentation team recommends starting here: https://nix.dev/contributing/documentation

Get in touch with us if you need guidance or help with approaching particular issues.

sounds good
17:11:04
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil asymmetric: Did you want to force push the changes together or can I squash merge? 17:16:43
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilOh you made a suggestion17:16:55
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilAh already applied17:17:42

should this be backported? reason being that it's information that would make sense to have in the stable manual sooner rather than later (at next nixos release)

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil asymmetric: Sounds fine to backport, doesn't break anything 19:56:53

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

oh right, it's not possible as 23.05 still uses the makefile-based setup

08:54:25
@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

I missed this, please add a comment to the post so it’s not overlooked!
