science-config(1)
π science-config(1) β the manual page, but make it a group chat π
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 π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
science-configβ the Debian Science common metapackage helper π«Άscience-<metapackage_name>β package information and auto-apt helper, slay π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
science-config science-<metapackage_name>
literally that's the whole vibe. one command, one argument, periodt β¨
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
okay so listen π 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 π
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 πΈ
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 π
