Re: as.info built in the source directory?


(I thought ben would step in :-)

GDB's release process involves a
configure/make-info/make-clean in the src directory. This results in the files being included in the distro.

BTW, pot files have a similar problem.

Why are the .info files considered any different from any of the autogenerated files? I've wondered why they aren't checked into cvs and regenerated when their sources are touched in the same way as configure et al. ?

It's the autoconf/automake files that are the exception. They are generated and checked in to avoid local tool dependency problems (sh et.al. can be really querky :-).
