@metello:matrix.orgtorarittehey, are there any active work going on the Nixpkgs manual's overrides and overlays sections? I only found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/255132 (doc: Improve overlays section) on the documentation team's project board (https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/15/views/1) 01:29:42

@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostIs there some section that explains what nixpkgs is and how it works. By that i mean - How is nixpgs bootstrapped, what are packageSets, scopes and why can packageA use packageB as buildInput if they are defined in the same package set. (fixed point recursion)15:47:15
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI don't think so16:12:03
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilNotably what Nixpkgs is should be in the Nixpkgs manual, while how it works should arguably be in the contribution docs16:12:30

Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: for nixdoc so that it gets picked up in noogle.dev, where do I land the documentation?

I'm specifically interested in fetchFromGitHub

Johannes Kirschbauer @hsjobeki: for nixdoc so that it gets picked up in noogle.dev, where do I land the documentation?

I'm specifically interested in fetchFromGitHub. Is it above the lib.makeOverrideable?

17:39:53
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostUnfortunately this is one Edge Case where noogle canot yet find the source Position. Correct Position would be above the function or above the attribute name 17:42:52
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostNot above makeOverridable that would be docs for makeOverridable.17:44:14

Attribute name meaning the one in pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix?

@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostI'd prefer to have the Docs at the Position that you get when applying the function with wrong Arguments. (The Lambda Position) I am traveling right now cant send the exact position. You'll figure it out 😀17:59:01
