reuse `devmode` utility from nixos/nixpkgs manuals

Open alejandrosame opened this issue 8 months ago • 5 comments

While figuring out the best name to export the nixos/nixpkgs manuals utility for out-of-tree usage, the contents of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/8f6ee3a6da7025c06936fdfbdfb7ba423c3ce5d5/pkgs/tools/nix/web-devmode.nix are pasted into the overlay.

Closes #787.

If https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265259 gets merged, we could pull it directly from the future 23.11 release.

See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/265259#issuecomment-1799028711, we can use callPackage to avoid the duplication.

Discussed in the docs meeting:

  • Put into draft mode until it's fixed up.
  • Would be good to have a note why this is better than the Python live reload thing that's already there.
