So what do you suggest? Do an sed job when creating the binary distributions, cutting out the preview-latex parts at installation time? Rerunning makeinfo is not really an option: one of our goals in packaging was that makeinfo would only be required after source changes. So we should not touch the README and INSTALL in the source tree. > This way we will be able to avoid clutter in the respective > directories and will be safe if some package systems or some such > can only handle README, INSTALL, etc. but not additional > README.preview etc. (I am not sure if something like this can be a > problem, but who knows ...) -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
