Yeah, I'd totally like that feature as well. As an outline of one potential solution: - the path "inside" the snap is the usual man page paths, but relative in there. - if man would just know that the binaries /snap/bin/<snapname>.command can be found in /...path..to..snaps/... the hosts man could pull it in - using the function of MANPATH_MAP of /etc/manpath.config could do that (maybe via a /etc/manpath.config.d then)
But just "as is" this would break confinement - so we very would need a proper interface designed for that. In general this might only be reasonable for classic, there snapd could provide such a wrapper. Just wanted to document the thoughts so far - thanks to #snappy channel for some discussion already. Surely has to be discussed by people with more insight into the snap environment, but it would be a really nice feature to have in classic environments. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575593 Title: Snappy installed manpages aren't accessible through man To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1575593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
