After making modifications to the manual, it's important to build it before committing. You can do that as follows:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>cd /path/to/nixpkgs/doc
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-shell
|
|
<prompt>[nix-shell]$ </prompt>make clean
|
|
<prompt>[nix-shell]$ </prompt>nix-build .
|
|
</screen>
|
|
If the build succeeds, the manual will be in <filename>./result/share/doc/nixpkgs/manual.html</filename>.
