Quick question: Should we enforce building info docs from source?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey all,

While packaging the new Automake, I ran into something that got me thinking. A bug (since fixed in 1.18.1) made it try to rebuild the info documentation from its Texinfo sources, which implied a new BuildRequires: texinfo dependency on packages that depend on Automake.

This got me wondering, we build packages from the source, but for some packages, we just ship the pre-generated info files that come in the tarball instead of building them from the .texi source files ourselves.

So, I wanted to get your take on this: Should we make it a standard practice to build info docs from their .texi sources, instead of using the pre-built ones?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Fred.
