@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni On the meta-issue, there really is no way to generate documentation for a single module with baseModules = [ ] (or equivalent), right? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/430335 10:31:20
@hsjobeki:matrix.orghsjobekiI will have a look at the seemingly broken example. I could swear that i tested it before adding. To generate docs you can just use simple eval modules from the second example. I'll have a look and update the first one11:20:57

@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsI'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
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossYes16:14:57
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsahhh, that would explain why tools on a nix shell don't appear on apropos (but their man pages are available)16:15:26
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross documentation.man.man-db.manualPackages 16:15:35
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsalso, that man-db codebase is looking legacy as hell; wonder if a tool could just do without that db given a fast-enough parser16:16:24

@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil I'm going to guess the documentation team is non-functional, but if not, please add a slide for the NixCon state of the union: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/191-Bgwv6Bdb4KBzIfyAyZBftI0rSuCBo-_tSPrTSrtE/edit?slide=id.g376eb5e3048_2_146#slide=id.g376eb5e3048_2_146
