Agenda
- Decide on doc: minimal documentation of supported platforms by asymmetric · Pull Request #254741 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
- Move before “Global configuration” section
-
change "build task" to "derivation" in tutorial by g-re-g · Pull Request #728 · NixOS/nix.dev · GitHub
- Derivation can be searched for, build task less so
- Derivations are specific to Nix
- Build task could be used in an explanation of derivations instead
- PR sounds good.
-
