Re: [Bug-indent] a full patch for the recent issues (bison, tesinfo2man)

[david ingamells]

Gerrit,
Thanks for the remarks. Yes I should have announced the release
on the mailing list. I'll make sure to do so with following releases.

I'll make a proper interim (2.2.8a) release (I've got a free day next 
Monday!) with the reported build problems fixed, and I'll also add the 
regression directory as standard.

I've been trying to puzzle a proper fix for some of the formatting problems 
that have been reported recently, but the whole package is like a house of 
cards: make a fix and something else breaks. I'm also trying to get the 
makefiles to a state where the whole tarball can be regenerated "out of the 
box", but as you have seen with 2.2.8, when I changed existing stuff that was 
originally handed over to me as "maintainer only" it didn't work as it 
should. It's difficult to know all the different setups where it will be 
used, so while it tested OK on my machine it didn't on some of yours!

Anyway we're moving in the right direction thanks to the feedback.

Regards,
David.
