It would be nice if the base Linux or PowerTools distribution included an RPM of the emacs lisp manual in info form in /usr/share/info. See, for example, ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-manual-21-2.6-tar.gz.
I think this should be done...
Added in emacs-20.7-39
Hmm. This isn't quite what I meant. The elisp info files take up 700Kb, and 99% of users will never need them. Wouldn't it make more sense to put them in a separate RPM?
