Hello guys;
I read some comments about the new info stuff being "so easy". Perhaps someone
can help us fix the problems in the Yorick port?
I can't reproduce the problem on my 5.0R but it's real (see bento and/or read
the attachment).
cheers,
Pedro.

Okay, I've taken a more careful look at the info file problem, and
I have an idea about what might be happening, but I do not understand
how we are supposed to cope with it under FreeBSD:
The yorick.info files are created by the makeinfo utility during
yorick's build (namely during the post-build target in the FreeBSD Makefile).
The number of files makeinfo creates depends on the specific flags that
are passed to makeinfo. For the version of makeinfo I have, the
default filesize is 50 kbytes, which turns out to make yorick.info
and yorick.info-[1-5], for a total of 6 files. However, if someone
managed to set the --no-split or --split-size flag to makeinfo when
they built yorick (which is possible, since yorick's Makefile uses
the MAKEINFO macro rather than makeinfo itself to build that target),
then the number of yorick.info files installed would be different.
So I'm guessing that the guy who is complaining about the missing
info files built yorick with makeinfo --no-split so that those files really
were missing for him. I don't know what the official FreeBSD policy is
on this -- what are you supposed to do when the _number_ (or names) of
files in pkg-plist depends on precisely how the person built the port?
Potentially, the default size at which makeinfo splits files could
depend on which version of makeinfo you had installed when you built
the port, which means that it is impossible for the port to predict
exactly how many info files makeinfo will produce when the package is
built.

My inclination is to leave the pkg-plist alone, since I think it is
better for people who have somehow set makeinfo --no-split to endure
the warning about missing files, than to silently not delete those
files for everyone else.
I am enclosing my proposed patch, which upgrades the current FreeBSD
CVS version of yorick (CVS rev 1.11). It includes your patch, which
corrects the version on ftp-icf.llnl.gov, but does not include Mr. Liu's
suggested fix from the 55358 PR, since I suspect his problem stems from
a non-standard setting of makeinfo during his build.
Could you please check this on your FreeBSD machine, since I can't
get to one just now? In particular, please check that the files
yorick.info-[1-5].gz actually are created when you build the port,
and that when you uninstall it, they are silently removed?
If all goes well, I'll submit this patch. Thanks much,
Dave
