 Robert Hensing (roberth) | package search has completely wrong documentation for NixOS services https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-search/issues/506 | 09:53:04 |
 fufexan | I'd be happy to help with this! | 10:48:35 |
 Sandro 🐧 | Why is that issue in nixos-search? That just consumes the metadata. | 13:32:15 |
 Linux Hackerman | because nixos-search is what suggests nix-env -iA nixos.docker | 13:33:03 |
| Sandro 🐧 | at least the meta data changes don't really go well into nixos-search repo | 13:54:02 |
| Sandro 🐧 | also that advice is completely wrong in general and we should just remove it | 13:54:22 |
 dramforever | Agreed. One of the things that might be confusing is that 'install' doesn't mean the same thing as what you'd expect from other package managers, so that's nice to address. | 15:12:50 |

 pennae | should we introduce a couple more inline roles for option docs constructs that don't have exact equivalents in markdown yet? <package> and <code> are the most common tags that we can currently only translate as normal code blocks (which turn into <literal>), but distinguishing those three things seems not entirely useful | 19:14:23 |
 Jan Tojnar | I do not think there is much distinction between literal and code | 20:14:48 |
| Jan Tojnar | or rather, the markdown backticks semantically represent inline code, if anything | 20:15:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | and we have already started mushing literals into it | 20:15:52 |
| Jan Tojnar | package, maybe | 20:16:25 |
| pennae | it's not too late to undo all the markdown migrations and add a role for literals if that would be useful | 20:17:55 |
| pennae | we now have the tooling to do this automatically, it wouldn't hurt a whole lot | 20:18:43 |
| Jan Tojnar | I was thinking the other manuals as well | 22:14:49 |
| pennae | that...would be a lot more effort. :/ | 22:38:50 |
| pennae | most of the remaining uncoverted docs after https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/183491 are held back by either links that don't round-trip, admonitions, or manpage references. <package> turns up only 46 times while there's hundreds of the roles we've already defined | 22:42:40 |

 fricklerhandwerk | Just found that NixOS manual for some reason has a Nix language syntax summary: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/index.html#sec-nix-syntax-summary
That should, if at all, be in the Nix manual. Any objection to just removing it? | 11:15:23 |
