Subject: [BUG] Failed to make install-info
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 09:38:40 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1J2q92-0001YT-BZ@jdl.com> (raw)
Guys,
I managed to fail to install info files during:
/usr/src/git# make prefix=/usr install-info
The /usr/share/info/dir file is readable. But it
looks like our build isn't supplying a description
that is needed by install-info? Is my info really
old or something?
This is:
1693 % pwd
/usr/src/git
1694 % git describe
v1.5.4-rc0
1695 % git rev-parse HEAD
1e8df762b38e01685f3aa3613e2d61f73346fcbe
and:
1698 % install-info --version
Debian install-info version 1.14.5.
Thanks,
jdl
