fetchTree stabilisation
-
Poor `fetchTree` documentation · Issue #9249 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
- what is the output?
- what are the invariants?
- @roberth: Concerns about the input types to be stabilised
- should we block the next release on documentation?
- @ericson2314: we should set a precedent that only things that are documented should be made stable
-
@fricklerhandwerk: would appreciate some help digging through the code together
- alternatively, offering high-priority documentation reviews
- decision: yes, we should not release with docs as incomplete as they currently are
- we will work towards making it happen on time though
- last resort would be reverting temporarily with commitment to be done by the release after
- @roberth suggests to finally stop debating process, as reverting and re-merging would have taken a fraction of the time
