Thanks for the suggestion. Alas, CVS refuses my connection as follows:
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/sources/groff -z5 co groff
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to \
cvs.savannah.gnu.org(199.232.41.69):2401 failed: Connection refused
and the lastest GROFF (1.19.3) needs Texinfo 4.8. My Debian system
provides only 4.7. I seem to be stuck.
The 1.19.3 install notes (actually the README) talks about renaming a file
'/usr/local/bin/install-info' if upgrading to 4.8. This isn't quite
clear to me. Does it mean install 4.8, then rename the file
'install-info' to say 'install-info.hold'? Failing to do this has what
effect?
Regards,
Dean
