Hello all,
the distribution I use on my personal computer does the following each night:
rm -f /usr/share/info/dir
find /usr/share/info /opt/*/info/ -type f 2>/dev/null |
grep -v -E -e "/dir$|-[0-9]+$" |
while read x ; do
{ install-info --info-dir=/usr/share/info $x 2>&1 ; } |
egrep -v 'no info dir entry in|already exists, for file'
done
Is that practice OK? I suspect it is not, as my dir file contains this
Individual utilities
* autoconf: (autoconf)autoconf Invocation.
How to create configuration scripts
* diff: (diff)Invoking diff. Compare 2 files line by line.
before the following:
Software development
* Autoconf: (autoconf). Create source code configuration scripts.
GNU packages
* Diff: (diff). Comparing and merging files.
Consequently, ``info diff'' and ``info autoconf'' doesn't get me to the
top node of that manual.
What is the right way to fix this? Where could I find and empty dir file,
which would contain all the base categories, in the right order?
Thank you in advance for any help,
Stepan Kasal
