 infinisil | Can't promise it's going to be a good one, but I'll try to both cover the original issue and some other interesting bits :) | 16:08:14 |
| infinisil | If you have more specific questions, feel free to add them to the issue :) | 16:08:47 |
 Enric Morales | I really liked the one where you went debugging nixpkgs build fails | 16:11:32 |
| Enric Morales | and i'm a bit more interested in themes around contributing to nixpkgs rather than the system per se, of course i'm very interested in the system especially all concerning demistifying functionality | 16:14:03 |

contributing to nixpkgs? yep. zhf, not yet (i don't know what it stands for) zero hydra failures, there is one zhf coming up soon | 16:17:24 |
| Enric Morales | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTzEslx3Kg0 this one? i'll watch it tonight | 16:17:28 |
| stablejoy | I used to think ZHF is the name of Nix Zurich meetup lol | 16:18:54 |
| Enric Morales | that ZHF video is very useful! | 19:17:39 |
| Enric Morales | is ZHF a good project to get started contributing? I only have a couple packages that I co-maintain | 19:17:57 |

Can't promise it's going to be a good one, but I'll try to both cover the original issue and some other interesting bits :) Based on my experience of being a viewer since the beginning, I think it'll be a good episode; just like all the rest. :) | 19:25:03 |
| infinisil | Don't jinx it! | 19:27:20 |
| infinisil | Thanks 😄 | 19:27:47 |

| infinisil | @room The next Nix hour is in 60 minutes! This week we'll go on a small module system expedition. You can watch the Nix Hour in this live stream. If you have any questions about this, either ask them beforehand in this issue, or use the live chat 😄 | 14:00:22 |

 Pico | The part that confused me but cleared up now
type = types.submodule ./vpn.nix
So the manual does say:
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#sec-option-types-submodule
types.submodule o
A set of sub options o. o can be an attribute set, a function returning an attribute set, or a path to a file containing such a value
So that's why passing a path is fine, I suspect the vpn.nix could contain either a function like it did in the example or just an attribute set.
I tried to figure it out from reading the source but that's bit hard for my nix level.
