[arch-dev-public] Add texinfo in base group?
by Eric Belanger 01 Oct '08

01 Oct '08

Hi, I just want to point out FS#11501. Basically, as we are now adding info pages to packages, we are using a .install file which runs install-info. This tool is part of texinfo. Therefore we should either add a dependency on texinfo to all these packages or alternatively add texinfo to the base group. Personnally, I prefer adding texinfo to the base group. It is simpler and would make more sense as the tools for the man pages are already in base. Let me know what you think. texinfo is currently out-of-date so I could do that change at the same time. BTW, texinfo provides its own info pages. Currently these files are included in the package but there's no .install script. If I add a script, then technically, it'll need to depend on itself. I'm thinking that it might cause problems for users who are installing it for the first time or with the installer. I could bypass this issue by not running install-info on post-install but only on post-upgrade and removal. Any better idea/comments?

All, I thought I had moved boost 1.36.0 to testing already, sorry. I'll be sending uploading it after I work out some SVN conflicts. k
