I merely imported the info.texi file from the texinfo distribution.
Isn't this a bad idea in itself..? The documentation we ship should
document the code we ship, in particular our versions of texinfo.el
and texinfmt.el. Let the makeinfo program carry its own version of
'info.texi'. (Yes I know these will shadow each other, but that is
just the dir system being broken).
Now that I look at it, there is only 2 occurrence of ï¼ ifnottex in
man/, so it is actually reasonable to change them, for now, assuming
this causes no problems for texi2html.
That might be difficult as the new version was introduced for
texi2html. Anyhow, I would say "scr*w texi2html".
Do we actually know that makeinfo from 3.12 fails, while 3.12f works
fine?
This version fails...
urysohn:/scratch/vroonhof/xemacs/man> makeinfo --version
makeinfo (GNU texinfo 3.12) 1.68
Note that this version comes from TeXLive 3.99 which is one of the
most up to date TeX distributions there is.
Does anybody have teTeX 1.0 installed to check which version that uses?
