According to Bruno Haible on 7/11/2006 5:59 AM:
If this was doc targeted to end-users, this might make sense. But so far
only getdate.texi is an end-user doc. All other doc in gnulib is targeted
at programmers, and should

Automake is distributing COPYING and texinfo.tex. Why would you have
fdl.texi distributed by gnulib-tool, not by automake? I would not like

Also, in the patch, I would mention --doc-base before --tests-base.
(tests-base is used only when --with-tests is specified, whereas doc-base

tab. Using tab-space instead makes it obvious that both characters were
intended, without having to fight editors trying to collapse them.

You had the earlier proposal of making automake be smart enough to install
the latest upstream version of docs, rather than the version that was

2) Similarly for texinfo.tex:
It would be better for packages using gnulib to get texinfo.tex from
gnulib. It's (nearly always) newer.
Of course, not all automake-using packages use gnulib. So then getting
texinfo.tex from automake is useful (I guess).
So, does automake refrain from
