@praduca:matrix.orgFlávio Martins Pradoshould a report be open or one just correct on nixpkgs directly?05:46:24
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Which manual? There may be an extra step to take depending on the manual.05:50:04
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)But yes, opening a PR is preferred if you want to do so :)05:50:20

@luxus:furiosa.orgluxus joined the room.09:56:48
@luxus:furiosa.orgluxus fricklerhandwerk: thanks for your lecture.. i really felt stupid yesterday for not understanding. vielen danke 😄 10:01:54
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerk luxus: With pleasure. In fact, I forgot to add one of the most important things I regularly tell people about Nix: If you feel confused, that's not because you're stupid but because it is confusing, and we want to do something about it. 22:46:57
@luxus:furiosa.orgluxusi got a lot working by now.. but stuff like flake configs for gpg, darwin/nixos, secrets, and deploy are really hard stuff 22:49:50
@luxus:furiosa.orgluxusif you need any feedback or any tests or experiments i would love to help 😄 your lecture is my favourite so far! 22:51:33

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 John Ericson: I think you mean someone else? I don't think I created such a PR. 16:44:44

@fufexan:matrix.orgfufexan

I was thinking of adding setting nixPath from flakes inputs to the wiki. Should that be done in the Flakes article or in a new article? It's basically only

{ inputs, ... }:
{
  nix.nixPath = [
    "nixpkgs=${inputs.nixpkgs}"
    "home-manager=${inputs.home-manager}"
    "system=${inputs.self}"
  ];
}

This would go along with showing how to add specialArgs = { inherit inputs; }; to a nixosSystem call.

Should I add this at all?

@fufexan:matrix.orgfufexan *

I was thinking of adding setting nixPath from flakes inputs, for compatibility with older nix tools, to the wiki. Should that be done in the Flakes article or in a new article? It's basically only

{ inputs, ... }:
{
  nix.nixPath = [
    "nixpkgs=${inputs.nixpkgs}"
    "home-manager=${inputs.home-manager}"
    "system=${inputs.self}"
  ];
}

* @ShadowRZ:matrixim.cc夜坂雅 | Yorusaka Miyabi wonders if there's any requirements for NixOS documentation to use DocBook.01:42:12
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaepretty much everything except modules and the options we haven't touched yet use markdown as their primary format and just render to docbook as an intermediate format. some modules do that as well, albeit not automatically01:47:31
