In a packaging context, install-info should be deferred to the actual live install (.deb -> %p) rather than during the writing to the staging directory (InstallScript -> %i). InfoDocs automatically does the former. Some build systems automatically disable install-info in the %i context, but others need to be disabled explicitly by the maintainer. It's always doable, but there are many variations among the build tools (sometimes an autoconf flag, sometimes a make variable, sometimes manually commenting out part of a makefile). dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
