Sounds good to me. I'll repackage within a few days. Thanks.
We need to make sure that the existing dependencies to texinfo
are still correct afterwards. 22 packages are affected:
_update-info-dir
info
a2ps
texinfo-tex
autoconf all of them
Not sure this is needed.
automake all of them
texinfo, although this is a soft dependency.
cygport
info (minimal build environment)
docbook2X
texinfo
indent
Not sure this is needed either.
The only reason I can think of is that indent comes with an info file
/usr/share/info/indent.info. But that would mean we'd have to add
dependencies to the info package for all packages coming with an info
page. Analog for packages containing man pages a depedeny to man-db.
This might go a bit far, I guess...
Packages with an info file don't automatically get a dependency on texinfo
(in the current setup). So this must have been done manually by Jari for
some reason. But I think packages with an info file do get an automatic
dependency on _update-info-dir, so that will bring in the new info package.
In any case, I was thinking the new info package ought to be in the Base
category anyway, for the same reason that man-db is in Base. But I don't
have strong feelings about this.
