Subject: Re: version of makeinfo in -current

 * Would anyone object to upgrading the version of makeinfo in the
 * current source tree?  It is quite old.  Its behaviour is totally
 * different from the newer version when certain options are specified,
 * and it has bugs.  
 * 
 * I can perform this upgrade.

I certainly won't object (in fact I will encourage you to do such
tasks), as long as you check and see if anything in the main source
tree calls it with the incompatible options.

 * This seems to be a recurring thing for me to mail the lists, I'm 
 * using FreeBSD as a development machine, and every piece of GNU software
 * I use I have to install from the current release, its kind of annoying.

You know, I tend to think that if you send us bmaked diffs for half
the things that you complain about, the world will be a much warmer
and fuzzier place for all FreeBSD'ers. :)
