Bug ID: 3150
Summary: Documentation indicates info can be built, but texinfo
is not provided on ftp servers
Product: Exim
Version: 4.98
Hardware: x86
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: unalloca...@exim.org
Reporter: eik...@zacchae.us
CC: exim-dev@lists.exim.org
I'm trying to update the version of exim packaged in Guix to include exim
documentation in the `info' format. Looking at exim4 spec.txt section "4.17
Installing info documentation", it seems I can build info docs by ensuring the
texinfo is found in INFO_DIRECTORY (set inLocal/Makefile). Section "1.5 Where
to find the Exim distribution" indicates that I can get the texinfo from
https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim4. However, it doesn't seem to be included
there. I see it is present in https://ftp.exim.org/pub/exim/exim3/.
I'm not sure if this is fundamentally a bug in infrastructure (why is it not
producing texinfo files?) or in the documentation (the documentation should
indicate that building info files in no longer supported). Regardless of
fundamentals, the documentation is wrong, which lives in the source tree, so it
is currently a bug in exim, so I'll report it here.
