@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilHere's the next "This month in Nix docs" draft update: https://pad.lassul.us/BQletwJYRkWAVZ9HY76kGA, does this look to everyone?15:16:26
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilDid we miss any highlights?15:17:30
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org Since I missed July I was just going to do them both at the end of August. I think it’s premature to do August since the month isn’t over yet. 17:28:05
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil zmitchell: Ah right you're still here, we weren't sure in the meeting :) 17:38:05
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI don't think it matters much when we do it, and if we miss a month I'd say it would be better to get it out sooner than later, it shouldn't be a problem to not have it aligned to months17:39:01
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilFeel free to decide yourself though17:39:28
@proofconstruction:matrix.orgproofconstruction Could always silently rename the series to "Last Month in Nix..." 17:49:26
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org I would prefer to just do it at the end of the month, and then try to be better about not forgetting (it’s even on my calendar to do it 🙄) 18:13:11
@daxvena:matrix.orgKira Bruneau removed their profile picture.23:41:35

@adam:robins.wtf@adam:robins.wtf changed their display name from adamcstephens to adamcstephens (buzz).01:04:26
@charlotte:vanpetegem.mechvp changed their profile picture.12:54:49

Did we miss any highlights?
I'd consider devmode (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/243062) a highlight given that it makes working on the manuals a more pleasant task.

@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricwhat do you think about this? https://github.com/asymmetric/nixpkgs/blob/doc-support-tiers-redux/doc/stdenv/platform-support.chapter.md16:11:47
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric it's a lightweight version of my previous draft pr, trying to avoid getting to deep in the weeds of which platforms belongs to which tier, whihc was proving quixotic 16:13:16
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi686-linux should appear in that doc17:47:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWe do have minimal (as in minimal image) support for i686-linux atm17:47:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWe should probably invite people who want to get involved in i686 maintenance to step up as we are slowly going the road of removing i68617:47:46
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric
In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
i686-linux should appear in that doc
How/where would you mention it?

We should probably invite people who want to get involved in i686 maintenance to step up as we are slowly going the road of removing i686
Then I'm not sure it's worth adding it to this doc
17:51:45
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWe have folks asking for i686 every time and then17:52:01
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusIt would be nice to have a coherent story to tell them17:52:06
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius"i686-linux support is currently on an best effort basis given the lack of maintenance, it may be removed in the future."17:52:15
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricIs i686 a special case, or does the above hold for a bunch of other platforms as well?17:52:38
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi686 is a special case because it's hardware that fewer and fewer people have but people with strong opinions on computers are always on the chase for i686 supporting distributions17:53:26
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswe are one of the few last ones who still has some way of supporting i68617:53:39
