Description Karl O. Pinc 2002-07-10 15:47:39 UTC
Description of Problem:

Most packages do not include their texinfo source, so it's impossible to print
info pages.

Of course, the work-around is to install the source rpm and get the texinfo
sources from it, but what a pain.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-09-12 14:30:10 UTC
Changing component to 'distribution' since there are many RPMs in this position.

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2005-03-01 20:39:28 UTC
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

Considering this, I'm not sure there's a good way to normally include these;
probably, using the texinfo source to generate formats such as PDF at build time
to put in the %doc sections would be better.

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2005-03-02 10:47:57 UTC
notting: Warren went through and *removed* all the PDF documentation we shipped,
late September last year. (See cups changelog for instance.)
