Some of this is from our reorganization of the gnu trees, e.g., the gnu distribution for texinfo-3.1 has the info files with the source, but we moved them all into one subdirectory. >>Also, they should be installed much >>like man pages are, with bsd.prog.mk calling bsd.info.mk for info pages >>like it calls bsd.man.mk for man pages. >I have nothing against, but don't have enough time right now to implement >it properly, please, do it by yourself, if you can. It's a bit too large a job for me right now too. Perhaps it could be done in a wrapper program than also builds the dir list automagically. >>and with .texi.gz files being installed by default. >>It's silly to trade time for space for small >>man pages and then install large info pages. >You mean .info.gz?

Makeinfo seems to be much faster than nroff, so this should work even better for info files than for man pages. Bruce
