 GGG | oh yeah, with the whole illegal image spam fiasco in the main NixOS room, image uploading got restricted | 23:29:10 |
| GGG | basically find what you want to change in the nixpkgs monorepo, make the changes you want, commit into a new branch, run nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD" and then run the programs to see if they still work | 23:32:15 |
| GGG | but .NET is more annoying than usual because if you change something in the SDKs, they'll cause every .NET program in nixpkgs to also be rebuilt, so you'll spend quite a few hours on the rebuild | 23:32:49 |
| GGG | I recommend reading parts of the nixpkgs manual first, so you learn how things work in nix, since it's quite different from any other distro | 23:33:20 |

 corruptcomputer | Just to be sure, is this the manual you mean?

| 6pak | nixos is unique, but that's what makes it the easiest distro to contribute to imo | 23:34:24 |
| 6pak | (and then just stare at your open prs not having any commiters reviewing it) | 23:34:40 |
| GGG | yes | 23:34:45 |
| GGG | it's quite long so I just jump around looking at the parts that I don't understand usually | 23:35:03 |
