@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennae(which, we do want to stress at the risk of offending someone, we have said at least five different times, including in meetings of the docs team)18:15:58
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host(Without also offending) Was it a lack of contributions? or why don't we have a multi-page outut if it's trivial and has been said so many times? It would be interesting to know whats the root cause then.18:56:19
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaelack of contributions probably. the topic has come up often enough and we replied how often enough but were burned out enough to not do the splitting work18:57:00
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaemight've also just been forgetten time and time again.18:57:52
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostI'll definitely look into it. 18:58:52
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaein any case it would be easy to split the manual as is, and with just a little work the split could be done programmatically based on toc structure too. that's part of why the toc data structures are the way they are18:59:12
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennae(we haven't read much of the backlog past seeing that the question must've existed because that part was full of build logs, and the backlog didn't go much further anyway. gotta love matrix)19:00:38
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostDo you have the issue number? can't find it on the project board.19:02:29
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaeissue number for what?19:02:54
@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.host@johannes.kirschbauer:scs.ems.hostI assumed we had an issue for page splitting. Might not be true then?20:52:54
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaeah. can't remember one immediately at least20:53:50
@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaeyeah, there isn't one we could find either20:57:09
@fricklerhandwerk:matrix.orgfricklerhandwerk

There's some top-level attribute rev being passed through to the manual rendering machinery, which is used to create the source links. It comes from flake.nix, but I just can't find where and how it's set.

Ideas?

@pennae:matrix.eno.spacepennaeset by the flake machinery because it's a git repo, probably21:54:42
