From: soeren <at> soeren-tempel.net To: guix-patches <at> gnu.org Subject: [PATCH] gnu: mandoc: Support zstd-compressed man pages. Date: Sat, 11 Jan 2025 20:07:52 +0100
From: Sören Tempel <soeren+git <at> soeren-tempel.net>
Since #68242 Guix uses zstd compression for man pages. Unfortunately,
upstream mandoc only supports gzip compressed man pages. Luckily, zstd
provides a wrapper library which easily allows adapting software using
zlib to zstd compression. This patch uses this wrapper library in
conjunction with mandoc to add support for zstd compression to it,
thereby allowing Guix man pages to be viewed with mandoc again.
* gnu/packages/man.scm (mandoc): Support zstd compression.
* gnu/local.mk: Add new patch.
* gnu/packages/patches/mandoc-support-zstd-compression.patch: New file.
---
Without this patch, mandoc is essentially defunct on Guix. You cannot
view any Guix man pages with mandoc presently because of this issue.

+mandoc upstream does not support zstd compression. However, Guix uses zstd
+compression for its man pages, therefore—without support for this compression
+method—mandoc would be quite useless. Hence, this patchset uses zlibWrapper
+from the zstd project to add zstd compression support to mandoc.
