Yeah. > If it isn't intended to be installed, maybe give it a different suffix > so it isn't confused to be a standalone man page? > > > +.so ./debuginfod-client-config.7 > > So this is intended to include the fragment into the man page? > That also doesn't seem to work for me. How/when does it do the > lookup/inclusion? man/nroff executes the .so directive during rendering, i.e., searches for content in the installed $MANPATH at run time. It is used on other fedora man pages e.g. for command aliases. If we look at man1/builtins.1 and man1/bash.1, they show a bit of this pattern. And actually bash.1 has some conditional inclusion tricks to let the bash.1 page be includable as well as standalone. That same trick could be done within the new debuginfod-client-config.7 file. See the refs to ".ig zZ" and ".zZ", ".nr zZ 1" in the file that contains the .so directive. - FChE
