Re: missing autoconf.info

I seem to be missing autoconf.info.
it used to be in /usr/share/info/autoconf.info.
now I see autoconf-2.1x.info.gz and autoconf-2.5x.info.gz,
neither is mentioned in dir.
what's up?


I dunno. I had thought that the _update_info_dir package would automagically "do its thing" and cause install-info to be performed on both of these files.


But apparently that's not happening. I don't really understand the _update_info_dir magic -- cgf?

As for why there is not plain "autoconf.info", that's an oversight on my part. One of the two should provide it; my money's on the -2.5x package. I'll make a note of it, and make sure the next release does the right thing.

For now, do this:
  $ cd  /usr/share/info
  $ cp autoconf-2.5x.info.gz autoconf.info.gz
  $ install-info -D /usr/share/info -i  XXXX
where XXX is each of the three info files in turn.
