All, I am looking for any information that can help me understand decisions made a year or so ago relating to the install/uninstall process for info files.
First, why is the default 'make install' behavior to not install the web and snippets info docs or the images? Second, why is it assumed that any install prefix other than /usr/... will only be used for preparing distribution packages, and not to update the info dir in such locations? Third, why is all the dircategory and direntry data concentrated in the lilypond-web.info file? My motivaton: I tried to './configure --prefix=/opt/lilypond' and 'make install' and the instructions provided to update the info dir did not work. Troubleshooting is fact has lead to several changes I want to propose, but I would like to understand how we got to this point before I do that. Thank you, John
