sysstat compresses manual pages using the `ZIP` environment variable unless `COMPRESS_MANPG` is set. `ZIP` seems to default to xz(1) and is for more than just compressing manuals. At least with `documentation.man.mandoc.enable = true;` this renders them unreadable: ``` $ man -w mpstat man: outdated mandoc.db lacks mpstat(1) entry, run makewhatis /nix/store/lk0r6ibvkrvaq96gp8h4rqgrd2q0c8q5-system-path/share/man /nix/store/lk0r6ibvkrvaq96gp8h4rqgrd2q0c8q5-system-path/share/man/man1/mpstat.1.xz ``` (followed by `PAGER` showing compressed mpstat.1.xz content.) Disable manual page compression during build and thus defer it to Nix: ``` gzipping man pages under /nix/store/wl2dwl1lhs9g5w2d5dhr0pcskp78nz42-sysstat-12.4.5/share/man/ ``` This also avoids potential runtime incompatibilites in sysstat (I am not a `services.systat` user). |
