Dear maintainers, Texinfo 6.1 has introduced a texi2dvi problem that will cause considerable trouble for R (www.R-project.org), where on Unix texi2dvi is used for generating pdf from latex and R's internal documentation format.
I attach files Rd2.tex and Rd.sty. With these in cwd, running texi2dvi Rd2.tex returns 1 with warning Package rerunfilecheck Warning: File `Rd2.out' has changed. (rerunfilecheck) Rerun to get outlines right (rerunfilecheck) or use package `bookmark'. instead of rerunning one more time. Bisecting the SVN changesets suggests that the problem was introduced with r6637 | gavin | 2015-09-22 19:29:58 +0200 (Tue, 22 Sep 2015) | 1 line texi2dvi: don't call generated_files_get so often, remove tricks to handle fl index, don't compare sorted index files in loop r6632 works fine. I'll try adding a workaround for the use within R, but clearly it would be great if the problem could be fixed. If there is any "trick" (env var, command line option) that could be used to avoid the problem with texi2dvi from the current release version of texinfo, pls let me know. Best -k
Rd2.tex
