@edlimerkaj:matrix.orgedlimerkajHi everyone, I hope you all are doing great. I'm very new to this community and I'm not sure whether this is the right discussion to join to ask questions, but I'm giving it a try. I am currently trying to build a Go package and I'm trying to use buildFlagsArray, which from my understanding can be used to pass the same options as go build. Even though I'm not sure how to pass more than one option, so let's say "-X ..." and "-o ...". Is that possible? Also, can somebody please provide me with any explanation about the "-s" and "-w" options passed to buildFlagsArray. I was not able to find anything relatable to this in the nix manual or pills, so didn't know where else to ask. Thank you so much for your time in advance. 09:25:57
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil edlimerkaj: Both this channel and #nix-lang:nixos.org are the wrong place to ask. For help with nix/nixpkgs you'll want to ask in #nix:nixos.org 10:47:24
@edlimerkaj:matrix.orgedlimerkajSure, thank you for letting me know. 10:48:53

@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaras I wrote https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image I got a question where are all modules inputs documented, are they anywhere?13:37:16
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen KožarI couldn't find it13:37:19

In reply to @domenkozar:matrix.org
as I wrote https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image I got a question where are all modules inputs documented, are they anywhere?
Why sync at the end? 🧐

@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožardd doesn't ensure things are written to the disk13:43:40
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaralmost no program does that and given that you're likely to unplug it very soon..13:44:15
@blaggacao:matrix.orgDavid Arnold (blaggacao)Yeah good point! 🙂13:44:37
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil domenkozar: You mean the lib, config, options, etc..? 14:39:07
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožaryeah14:39:33
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisildomenkozar: I don't think they're documented anywhere, but in general NixOS modules, these three are always there14:40:22
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil But you can have arbitrary others via _module.args, specialArgs or args 14:41:00
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil NixOS specifically sets some more, like _module.args.pkgs, specialArgs.modulesPath, args.{baseModules,extraModules,modules} 14:41:54
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI think that's all of them, relevant file is https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/eval-config.nix14:42:16
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar infinisil: could you add that to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/132419 14:43:44
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilYeah can do14:44:14
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarthanks!14:53:04

@blaggacao:matrix.orgDavid Arnold (blaggacao) Does anybody associate a certain known failure mode with such strange example rendering? 03:17:44
5 Aug 2021
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar David Arnold: your renderer needs to support literalExample, e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/71b64e83077762aa44c6c7346e913c9bacb9fa73/nixos/lib/make-options-doc/options-to-docbook.xsl#L66-L68 07:31:17
