 aktaboot | * Hey !
Just some feedback:
I felt that it was weird that the manuals were not easily accessible from the website.
You have to go under Learn and then scroll all the way down to see them.
Some links to the docs in the headers or/and the footers, visible on all pages would be more intuitive imo. | 09:23:17 |
| aktaboot | Plus, I am not even sure where the links to nixos.wiki are on the nixos.org website. | 12:10:35 |
| aktaboot | oh nvm it's unofficial | 12:11:20 |

 toonn | Anyone know how to build the Nix docs? I've entered a nix-shell in the Nix repo but `make doc/manual/index.html` doesn't seem to be the correct target. | 17:15:10 |
 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | toonn: I very vaguely recall that there's specifically an attribute exported by nixpkgs for building the docs | 17:20:07 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | in the same way there's an attribute for building a release somewhere | 17:20:19 |
| toonn | I could build just the doc output for Nix I guess. But I'd rather not build any unnecessary things like the manpages if I can avoid it. | 17:21:11 |

| hexa | * nixpkgs-build-manual () {
NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=$(pwd) nix-build --option restrict-eval true nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
}
| 17:43:29 |
| toonn | hexa: Not the Nixpkgs manual, the Nix manual. | 17:48:40 |
| toonn | Or is this the Nix manual, just through Nixpkgs? | 17:48:54 |
| toonn | But then how does that pick up my changes? | 17:49:03 |
| hexa | Hence removed | 17:49:11 |
| toonn | Ah, that doesn't render in an obvious way in my client >.< | 17:51:12 |
| toonn | Thanks for trying anyway! | 17:51:30 |
| toonn | Oh no, nix-build -A defaultPackage.x86_64-darwin.doc seems to be build Nix as well : ( | 17:53:43 |

 chreekat | In my experience, Nix builds are mostly optimized for CI rather than REPL | 18:07:14 |
| chreekat | So you were probably on the right path earlier, trying to find the right combination of nix-shell and build tool | 18:08:05 |
| toonn | I think the nix-shell should suffice but I can't figure out the right make invocation : / | 20:22:54 |
| toonn | This seems like quite the papercut making contributing to the Nix docs not for mere mortals tbh : / | 20:23:25 |
| 16 Feb 2022 |
| chreekat | Ask on discourse; I'm sure somebody somewhere knows | 16:23:47 |
