We've been around the block a few times with Debian, trying to do just that, but there's at least one problem: `info coreutils pr' would display the `printing text' section of the manual, not the one on `pr invocation'. See the ChangeLog for man/Makefile.am for more details. However, if we can fix `info' to do the right thing, then I'd be happy to change it. > 2005-09-29 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > * man/Makefile.am (.x.1): Have the sort man page suggest "info > coreutils sort" rather than "info sort", and similarly for the > other man pages.
