science-config(1)

πŸ’– science-config(1) β€” the manual page, but make it a group chat πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is science-config from section 1 of the manual (General Commands Manual, iykyk), and I'm about to explain it to you like we're texting at 2am πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

  • science-config β€” the Debian Science common metapackage helper 🫢
  • science-<metapackage_name> β€” package information and auto-apt helper, slay πŸ’…

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

science-config science-<metapackage_name>

literally that's the whole vibe. one command, one argument, periodt ✨


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen πŸŽ€ β€” science-config prints just a simple information page about every science-* package of the Debian Science Blend. no cap, that's the job. it's giving "tour guide for the whole blend" energy πŸ‘‘

and here's the iconic part: each metapackage contains a /usr/bin/science-<metapackage_name> file. that file should print some useful information, and it could be used as an auto-apt helper. so it's not just pretty β€” it's functional. main character behaviour fr fr 🌸

heads up bestie: <metapackage_name> is a placeholder, so you swap in the real name yourself. don't go typing the angle brackets and wondering why it's mad at you 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” short, sweet, and absolutely ate. no notes. πŸ’…

cute little sign-off moment: this page came from Debian Science and it's dated Apr 03, 2008 β€” an absolute vintage icon, honestly. take care of her πŸŽ€βœ¨πŸ¦‹
