Hi, I am trying to install more manuals (info pages), without installing associated packages in my profile.
My first idea was to use a home service to overwrite INFOPATH. However, I do not think that it is sufficient. For example, the following commands show unexpected `(top)' nodes. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- INFOPATH=$(guix build emacs)/share/info info # Empty (top). info -d "$(guix build haunt)/share/info" # No haunt in (top). --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- An alternative (that I prefer to avoid) would be to write packages that would copy the info manuals of the packages I need. Motivation: I currently use direnv+manifests to setup work environments in different directories. However, the info-mode of Emacs is easily lost (the `top' node is generated with the first INFOPATH the info-mode sees). This can be annoying when switching profiles, so I would like to add all info pages that are relevant for me by altering INFOPATH home-profile-wide. Best regards, -- Arnaud
