From 7bf3d77ed667e9186dbe05526a60518c7340be68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alyssa Ross Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2020 11:32:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] groff: set "operating system" for mdoc pages Prior to this change, man pages from Nixpkgs written using the mdoc(7) macros would start like this: NC(1) BSD General Commands Manual NC(1) and end like this: BSD December 27, 2018 BSD No matter what operating system they were run on. It's far more accurate to say "Nixpkgs General Commands Manual", so with this patch we configure groff to do just that. The variable is called "operating-system", but I think it makes more sense to say "Nixpkgs" than "NixOS" or something, because packages from Nixpkgs can run on lots of operating systems, and the important thing is that the package is from Nixpkgs. --- pkgs/tools/text/groff/site.tmac | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/pkgs/tools/text/groff/site.tmac b/pkgs/tools/text/groff/site.tmac index 8ef1040ca4a0..776a7abb1da7 100644 --- a/pkgs/tools/text/groff/site.tmac +++ b/pkgs/tools/text/groff/site.tmac @@ -14,3 +14,6 @@ . if '\V[GROFF_SGR]'' \ . output x X tty: sgr 0 .\} +. +.ds doc-default-operating-system Nixpkgs +.ds doc-volume-operating-system Nixpkgs
