Description

Hi there!

I got this error on my NixPkgs PR: 'This PR does not cleanly list package outputs after merging.'

Then I'm brought to a gist which has some sort of trace in it. What does this error mean?

Might I suggest to add some sort of wiki link/description in the gist describing what error I made, and how to resolve it?

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the reported error message and the trace gist it links to, then trace how ofborg produces this message for NixPkgs pull requests. Document what the error means, what caused it, and how contributors can resolve it; no source file or test is identified in the issue, so the exact implementation entry point still needs to be located.
