--- Comment #4 from Jan Beulich <jbeulich at suse dot com> --- (In reply to Nick Clifton from comment #3) > So the next question is - are you asking that commit 8bb23cdbb498 be > reverted, so that the docs will build with older versions of texinfo, > or that the top level configure.ac be updated to check for at least > texinfo 6.8 ? Well, reverting is what I'm doing locally right now, but I don't view this as a good option. Whether to encode the higher version requirement in the top level configury I'm also not sure of - that largely depends if other sub-components' doc would also soon require newer versions. Plus of course wouldn't that require sync-ing with at least gcc? Would it be possible to limit this to bfd's doc for now? But of course all I really care about is that things build cleanly when configure claims to be happy. I'm not sure what the policy is - it would of course be nice for configure to not fail with too old makeinfo, but for it to instead simply disable doc building (with an appropriate warning). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
