supersandro2000: I'm wondering why this isn't true by default?
<supersandro2000>
shrug
<Ke>
speaking of that, I have very few programming manpages on my nixos, is there a reasonable way to get those
<Ke>
like man 2 fadvise is missing
<Ke>
that's glibc stuff
<hpfr>
also despite the analogous system option `documentation.man.generateCaches` also being false, `man` completes `spice-client` from my system packages, so I'm confused when these caches are used for completion and when they aren't
<Ke>
is this a add glibc to systemPackages thing
<supersandro2000>
try man fadvise64
<Ke>
nope
<hpfr>
well here's why it's false by default
<hpfr>
> Since generating the cache can be expensive the option is off by default.

silence, bot
<supersandro2000>
install man-pages
<supersandro2000>
those manpages are not part of glibc package
<Ke>
install as in systemPackages?
<supersandro2000>
or with home-manager
<hpfr>
aha, and for the spice-client completion, it's because the fish nixos module enables `documentation.man.generateCaches`

Hello :)
<xAr86>
Is someone around having an idea how to set an option to a unicode-value e.g. "\uf0a0" value without having issues with less or to much escaping? (If I use 1 Backslash, no backslash is in config, if I use two two are in config).
<xAr86>
Its for i3status-rust, I looked at the code and found toTOML function which could be escaping values in general?
<thibm>
xAr86: I don't think that Nix has support for unicode literals
<thibm>
But you can just write the unicode character in your file, if you're ok with that
<Kng[m]>
Here you go: ""
<Kng[m]>
Kinda sad that you can't pass it through to the toml tho (since toTOML sees the `\` and escapes it)
<petrichor>
{^_^} seems very sad at the moment :(
<thibm>
xAr86: you can also write \\uf0a0 (in the Nix file, generatedd as \uf0a0) and let the TOML parseer parse it has unicode on the other end.
<thibm>
hm, like Kng[m] said
<thibm>
With "\\uf0a0" I have only one backslash in the generated file (with writeText). How the config is generated?
<thibm>
xAr86: your text editor probably have a way to input a unicode character too
<xAr86>
thibm: I searched for it but sublime is not that good equipped ^^ Also even after changing font and it works my Editor can't show the icons like in irc :D
<dutchie>
you can always just do `printf '\uXXXX'` too
<xAr86>
with ` or whats the correct syntax?
<xAr86>
sorry new to nix
<dutchie>
oh printf is a shell command
<dutchie>
i just meant as a way to get one to copy & paste
<xAr86>
ah ok
<xAr86>
thx missunderstood it
<Kng[m]>
Is there some nix fn to parse unicode? `${unicode "XXXX"}` would fix the "can't render private use area" problem
<Kng[m]>
* Is there some nix fn to parse unicode? `${unicode "XXXX"}` would fix the "my editor can't render private use area" problem
<xAr86>
Kng[m]: sounds like what I'm searching for :)
<Kng[m]>
tbh the cleaner solution would be to run such over the whole string
<thibm>
\\uf0a0 should really be OK. Do you have an simple example of config so I can test?
<Kng[m]>
<thibm "\\uf0a0 should really be OK. Do "> toTOML runs `escape [ "\b" "\t" "\n" "\f" "\r" "\"" "\\" ];` (or at least the version I found on a random gist does)

nix-community/home-manager#1935 (by liketechnik, 1 week ago, closed): Unable to configure some starship options
<xAr86>
yeah thibm, I use nerdfonts (Meslo) with i3status-rust and need to override cpu icon as this has another id (\\uf0e4) - config https://pastebin.com/upAEGqQY
<xAr86>
I'm on master
<Kng[m]>
You want something like `"\\(?!u)"` instead of `"\\"` (except idk how the escape fn works)
<xAr86>
I would also go with \\ but even in "" or '' '' it makes \\ in my config and shows it as string in i3status-rust
<thibm>
builtins.toJSON (used by formats.toml) escapes \ with \\
<thibm>
So: Nix parser parses "\\uf0a0" correctly as "\uf0a0" (6 characters, starting with '\'). Most code works well with that string (like using passAsFile in writeText) but not buitlins.toJSON which "breaks" it by escaping the \

Having a weird issue while trying to run the tests for a PR. "attribute 'wrapNeovimUnstable' missing at modules/programs/neovim.nix" even though I set pkgs to nixpkgs-unstable. Checked my $NIX_PATH and the store it references also defines wrapNeovimUnstable in top-level/all-packages.nix. Anyone got an idea what might be the issue?

Fewer issues for contributors to consider.

Does anyone know if I can hide the workspace-switcher on a i3status-rust bar? Can't find sth for that

piegames[m]: well, the noise should be over. Now everyone can focus on just issues that actually matter.
