@drupol:matrix.orgPolHello all,05:56:40
@drupol:matrix.orgPolI am willing to merge this PR in nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/42913705:56:54
@drupol:matrix.orgPol But the CI disagree: nixos_render_docs.html.UnresolvedXrefError: bad local reference, id #opt-services.private-gpt.enable not known 05:57:24
@drupol:matrix.orgPol This reference is from the release-notes/rl-2405.section.md. 05:57:55
@drupol:matrix.orgPolThere's indeed a link in the changelog to the new service (at the time)05:58:15
@drupol:matrix.orgPolHow to deal with that? Should I remove it from the changelog of the past version ?05:58:35
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerkThat’s weird.06:07:04

In reply to @drupol:matrix.org
How to deal with that? Should I remove it from the changelog of the past version ?
If nothing else helps, as a hack, yes
06:07:13
@drupol:matrix.orgPolSo I remove the entry from the changelog?06:08:39
@ma27:nicht-so.sexyma27wouldn't it make mroe sense to just kill the link instead of the entire entry?06:13:46
@drupol:matrix.orgPolYes, that's what I was thinking indeed. Sorry for the confusion06:14:56
@drupol:matrix.orgPolI'll do that.06:15:02
@drupol:matrix.orgPolOK It's done, feel free to review it if you want.06:21:21
@drupol:matrix.orgPolThanks for the info !06:21:33

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni On the meta-issue, there really is no way to generate documentation for a single module with baseModules = [ ] (or equivalent), right? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/430335 10:31:20
@hsjobeki:matrix.orghsjobekiI will have a look at the seemingly broken example. I could swear that i tested it before adding. To generate docs you can just use simple eval modules from the second example. I'll have a look and update the first one11:20:57

@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsI'm wondering about how the man-db database in nixos is maintained: I see that apropos and whatis works for pages, but it's not clear to me how that db is formed. is it part of the nixos system build?16:14:43
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossYes16:14:57
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsahhh, that would explain why tools on a nix shell don't appear on apropos (but their man pages are available)16:15:26
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross documentation.man.man-db.manualPackages 16:15:35
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsalso, that man-db codebase is looking legacy as hell; wonder if a tool could just do without that db given a fast-enough parser16:16:24
