Some packages like `ibus-engines.typing-booster` require the dictionary `fr_FR.dic` to provide proper support for the french language. Until now the hunspell package set of nixpkgs didn't provide this dictionary. It has been recommended to use `fr-moderne` as base and link `fr_FR.dic` from it as done by other distros such as ArchLinux. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/46940#issuecomment-423684570 Fixes #46940
To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at https://nixos.org/nix/download.html When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project (i.e., `nixpkgs`), run: nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the manual got generated.
