Re: [Nix-dev] Should I do something about /share/man?
This is done in pkgs/os-specific/darwin/apple-source-releases/adv_cmds/default.nix. However I have no idea why this fails and have no darwin machine to test and investigate.

Re: [Nix-dev] Should I do something about /share/man?
Man files are supposed to be in the store as well. You should create a $out/share/man/ and move the man files of a program to this location.

Well, I just did that, but then the *second* package that tries to do this fails with: mv: cannot move '/nix/store/ag4ni27jvlnbdnklbpb1xv4cqchxd30s-expat-2.1.0/share/man' to '/share/man/man': Directory not empty -- Regards, Mike ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
[Nix-dev] Should I do something about /share/man?
The installation of many Nix packages for me ends in this: moving /nix/store/qhpf938zw5mbrlvazpnlkvd9z3fmvyyq-adv_cmds-153/share/man to /share/man mv: cannot move '/nix/store/qhpf938zw5mbrlvazpnlkvd9z3fmvyyq-adv_cmds-153/share/man' to '/share/man/man': Permission denied ... aborting the install (This is on Mac OS X.) I think I saw this before, but it was always ignored. Should I create /share/man and make it writable? Did I overlook some bit of documentation? -- Regards, Mike ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
