I would like to bring to the attention of this list a Texinfo-related bug
recently filed in the GCC bugzilla, at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33549
In a nutshell:
* We have e.g. /tmp/foo--bar/inc.texi
* We have an input file doc.texi like
@set srcdir /tmp/foo--bar
@include @value{srcdir}/inc.texi
* makeinfo(1) returns the error
doc.texi:2: @include `/tmp/foo-bar/inc.texi': No such file or directory.
with a hyphen erroneously dropped from the include-file path.
This problem can be worked around (at least for plain .info output) by
using e.g.
@set srcdir @verb{|/tmp/foo--bar|}
and I proposed a patch against GCC's build system to this effect, but one
of the maintainers holds that the problem is on the Texinfo side---that
en/em-dash processing should not be applied to the argument of @include.
Which of the two projects needs the fix?
