Source: m4 Version: 1.4.17-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch For the purposes of bootstrapping, it would be nice to be able to build m4 without texinfo installed, as m4 is much easier to bootstrap than texinfo is. The attached patch implements this.
(Note that there's also a dependency cycle that m4 Build-Depends on libsigsegv-dev, which Build-Depends on autoconf, which Depends on m4. But the autoconf script seems to handle building without libsigsegv automatically with no further changes needed.) -- Daniel Schepler
