antifuchs | I'm wondering about how the man-db database in nixos is maintained: I see that apropos and whatis works for pages, but it's not clear to me how that db is formed. is it part of the nixos system build? | 16:14:43 |
Alyssa Ross | Yes | 16:14:57 |
antifuchs | ahhh, that would explain why tools on a nix shell don't appear on apropos (but their man pages are available) | 16:15:26 |
Alyssa Ross | documentation.man.man-db.manualPackages | 16:15:35 |
antifuchs | also, that man-db codebase is looking legacy as hell; wonder if a tool could just do without that db given a fast-enough parser | 16:16:24 |

Aura | uh, nixpkgs manual (particularly the language section) mentions that you can tag github teams on the NixOS org a lot, but most of those teams are private and not mentionable unless you're in the org... | 09:17:13 |
