Description Dmitry Antipov 2007-11-21 14:34:05 UTC 
On F8, makeinfo is probably broken since it generates wrong START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
entries.

Consider the following Texinfo input test.texi:

\input texinfo
@setfilename test
@settitle Foo manual

@dircategory Misc
@direntry
* Foo: (foo).           Mega-Foo.
@end direntry

With makeinfo from texinfo-4.11, result of 'makeinfo --force test.texi' is:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Misc
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
This is test, produced by makeinfo version 4.11 from test.texi.

* Foo: (foo).           Mega-Foo.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

But, with makeinfo from texinfo 4.8, the result was:

This is test, produced by makeinfo version 4.8 from test.texi.

INFO-DIR-SECTION Misc
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* Foo: (foo).           Mega-Foo.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

I.e. the description "This is ..." is not within
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY/END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY block.
