@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricwould love your feedback on https://github.com/NixOS/nix.dev/pull/68013:20:35
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org
In reply to @asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.uk
didn't we use to have a bot that commented on PRs with a url to ta preview version of nix.dev?
I think that’s only for branches on the NixOS/nix.dev repo, not on PRs from forks

@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org Jan Tojnar No, I asked a couple of questions on the issue and never got a response, so I didn’t want to spend time on it 14:35:24
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org Just FYI I'll be taking a short break from docs team meetings in the month of September. Not only do I need the break, but I'll be out of town at conferences (including NixCon) for the first half of the month so I wouldn't be able to attend those meetings anyway. 14:35:41

@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org proofconstruction people really like your tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/15v1r4o/new_official_tutorial_series/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 17:16:10
@proofconstruction:matrix.orgproofconstructionNice to log on to that win today17:47:17
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org An idea I had from one of the comments would be to create a list of “practice packages” selected from nixpkgs and grouped by difficulty to serve as a list of packaging exercises 21:19:11
@zmitchell:matrix.org@zmitchell:matrix.org Under each listing you could even have a `details` tag providing different hints so users don’t have to spoil themselves looking up the full build definition in nixpkgs 21:21:13

@alejandrosame:matrix.orgalejandrosameJust finished writing the issue I mentioned during the last meeting -> https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/250376 . I'll start applying the new structure to the Python section starting tomorrow. If you take a look and have any feedback, I'll gladly read it! 16:12:10

@mightyiam:matrix.org@mightyiam:matrix.orgSorry. Can't make it today. See you next time.14:27:04
@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.orgdaxvena removed their profile picture.23:41:35

In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org
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
