However, it includes an interesting comment in bfs/doc/Makefile.{am,in} (the two files that commit patches): # We do not depend on chew directly so that we can distribute the info # files, and permit people to rebuild them, without requiring the makeinfo # program. If somebody tries to rebuild info, but none of the .texi files # have changed, then nothing will be rebuilt. Regards, Vincent. > > Best regards, > > Thomas >
