So here's an idea. Add a --suffix option to install-info and at the same time allow using a directory in the place of the dir file, so that you can invoke it like this: install-info --suffix=-5.2 info-stnd.info /usr/share/info When a directory is given in place of the dir file, the file should be copied to that directory, as well as adding its dir entries to a dir file that is found in that directory. Makefile rules, such as those generated with Automake, could check for the presence of the --suffix option (e.g. "install-info --suffix | grep unrecognized\ option"), and if it's found to be supported, use the new invocation syntax. An option --manual, used like, "install-info --manual=info-stnd-5.2" would allow arbitrary transformations of the manual name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
