I don't think you can send a patch for this. According to <https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/>: (This page generated by the gendocs.sh¹ script.) This "gendocs.sh" uses "texi2html" to convert our texinfo documentation (see "doc/guix.texi" in the guix git repo) to the html page. In "guix.texi" the link you are talking about is a usual link to the "gnutls-guile" manual. I didn't look at "texi2html" but I believe by default it just assumes that all the manuals are placed at "www.gnu.org/software/<package>/manual/", so for "external" manuals the generated links are false. For example, there are also wrong links to Geiser and Magit-Popup manuals. So I think it's a general thing for all generated manuals that are placed on "gnu.org". ¹ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/build-aux/gendocs.sh -- Alex
