For me, setting up colored man pages is essential. I was hoping to see that in this article, because my methods aren’t ideal.
I’m either holding most
back a couple versions, using a personal version of gentoos man pager that relies on texinfo and breaks on fedora, or using vim which is not my favorite.
So this isn’t really an answer on how to migrate but this solution has worked well for me.
I define the toolboxes config with it, and if it gets destroyed, recreating it is as simple as creating a new one with the same name. You could upgrade or downgrade by just creating a new toolbox with the version you want.
