@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host	Is there some section that explains what nixpkgs is and how it works. By that i mean - How is nixpgs bootstrapped, what are packageSets, scopes and why can packageA use packageB as buildInput if they are defined in the same package set. (fixed point recursion)	15:47:15
infinisil	I don't think so	16:12:03
infinisil	Notably what Nixpkgs is should be in the Nixpkgs manual, while how it works should arguably be in the contribution docs	16:12:30
