Hi all,
Just a heads up with something I have remembered while packaging with the
new pacman release. Including docs is the default in makepkg.conf now so
if there is a large amount of documentation you will want to add a !docs to
the PKGBUILD options. Also, every package that needs the --mandir
configure flag will probably need and --infodir one too. An annoying
number of packages with info pages install a /usr/share/info/dir file so
that will need removed at the end of the PKGBUILD.
I have discovered that at least one package has to have a /usr/share/info/dir
file or the info command complains that it is missing. It seems that
ideally all packages with info directories should add/remove entries in this
file when installing/removing the package, although calling "info <something
not in dir file>" seems to work, but I might be missing something....
The point is that adding info files properly involves an install file with
"install-info" commands for each info page in the package. Isn't including
docs fun!

The emacs package already does this. The emacs.install file could be used
as a template for this info stuff.
