Description Tom Tromey 2011-04-06 17:45:07 UTC
Description of problem:

buildbot ships an info page in /usr/share/doc/buildbot-0.7.12/docs/
It would be nice if these files were installed in /usr/share/info
and hooked into the master 'dir' file.  That way I could read the buildbot
documentation more easily in Emacs (or standalone info).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.7.12

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2011-05-30 10:46:36 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Hey Tom, sorry for lurking on this.

I'm moving the info files in the proper place, but I can't quite understand what do you mean by them being "hooked into the master 'dir' file"

Can you please elaborate?

Info has a master directory stored in a file called "dir".
This is where info's initial menu comes from.
Once an info file is in place, you have to use "install-info" to
hook it into the dir file.

Here are some canned instructions for how to do this from a .spec file:

ah great, then that's exactly what I've done locally. 

Will be in the next push

Thanks!

Looks like I forgot to close this after 0.7.12-6 got pushed
