It doesn't make sense to link it to the wiki like this. Instead there needs to be a section explaining the how and why of the release process, and then say "If you're interested in how a NixOS release actually happens please see https://nixos.github.io/release-wiki/` and that's the rendered link. Speaking of which the github action is failing there.
Edit: should be fixed now

I wouldn't really expect for the release process to be there in the first place. I think this mostly benefits people who are used to it being there.
New users will probably find it confusing that it's mentioned at all.
I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info |
Any updates on this? Looks like it's a good idea to remove unnecessary info about release process in the manual. |
let me deal with conflicts |
Nevermind. This is a duplicate of #124418 now. closing |
Motivation for this change
The related documentation on the release process has moved
to https://github.com/NixOS/release-wiki
Doesn't make sense to export the release process to users.
