# info.nix -- install texinfo, set INFOPATH, create `dir` file
# This is a helper for the GNU info documentation system. By default,
# the `info` command (and the Info subsystem within Emacs) gives easy
# access to the info files stored system-wide, but not info files in
# your ~/.nix-profile.
# We set $INFOPATH to include `/run/current-system/sw/share/info` and
# `~/.nix-profile/share/info` but it's not enough. Although info can
# then find files when you explicitly ask for them, it doesn't show
# them to you in the table of contents on startup. To do that requires
# a `dir` file. NixOS keeps the system-wide `dir` file up to date, but
# ignores home-installed packages.
# So this module contains an activation script that generates the
# `dir` for your home profile. Then when you start info (and both
# `dir` files are in your $INFOPATH), it will *merge* the contents of
# the two files, showing you a unified table of contents for all
# packages. This is really nice.
