Description of problem: For some reason, the Emacs Info browser cannot locate the m4 documentation, although I can see files in /usr/share/info. I haven't seen this with any other package-provided documentation, so I'll pretend it's m4's fault. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): m4-1.4.16-7.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press `C-h i' in Emacs. 2. m4 documentation is not listed.
The files are installed but they are not linked into /usr/share/info/dir. Ordinarily this linking is done by install-info. From m4.spec: %post if [ -f %{_infodir}/m4.info ]; then # --excludedocs? /sbin/install-info %{_infodir}/m4.info %{_infodir}/dir || : fi %preun if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then if [ -f %{_infodir}/m4.info ]; then # --excludedocs? /sbin/install-info --delete %{_infodir}/m4.info %{_infodir}/dir || : fi fi The bug here is that "m4.info" is not installed -- it is compressed first: barimba. rpm -qil m4 |fgrep .info /usr/share/info/m4.info-1.gz /usr/share/info/m4.info-2.gz /usr/share/info/m4.info.gz While you're there... I think the m4.info files aren't so large that they require splitting. IMO it's better to install a single "m4.info.gz".

Thanks for the report Florian. > While you're there... I think the m4.info files aren't so large > that they require splitting. IMO it's better to install a single > "m4.info.gz". Tom, I don't disagree with you, but the split is done by upstream and I don't want to differ when it's not necessary.
