All issues of “This month in Nix documentation”
News
- A series of broken URLs plagued the Nix manual after the migration from nixos.org to nix.dev. This was largely fixed, with a few exceptions where historical redirects from URLs with a
.htmlsuffix are not being handled correctly by Netlify. It still needs to be cleaned up with a workaround. - The regular documentation team office hours were concluded after 6 weeks.
