The message is informative, the user must be notified that what
he's
seeing is not what is on his dir file. I believe it should stay the
default and it is up to anyone to change that behaviour with full
knowledge of the fact.
I will let Steve arbitrate on this.
Oscar, I think the changes you've made have gone a long ways to make
info more useful -- I too believe dir (and localdir) files are broken by
design and the ability to deal with an info directory without them is
*important*.
The warning by default has got to go IMO. As it is currently coded,
a freshly installed XEmacs will always give a warning because the
installed XEmacs info is going to appear out of date. I don't view
this as an installation bug.
I think Chipsy's patch "Make Info behave sensibly", is probably the
way to go. It would also be useful to have a `batch-update-info-dir'
function to call with `-batch' that a system administrator might use
to update the system (/usr/info/dir, /usr/local/info/dir) dir files.
