I've fixed this. Please try the recent svn trunk.
It looks very good, thanks.
> *manpages*
of course the output is not at all informative.
I think it's fine. It's the buffer name we'll use, after all.
And it does give a useful hint to the users.
I don't see a reason to output it more than once, though.
Also, after doing some more experiments I find myself unclear as to when
*manpages* shows up. For example, if I run "info top", I get the man
page (as expected, since it is not in the Info system), but info -aw top
shows nothing.
$ info -aw top
$
Furthermore, back on info -aw automake, it doesn't show *manpages* at
all, just the Info hits, even though automake.1 certainly exists in the
usual place(s) and is found with man:
$ info -aw automake
/usr/local/gnu/share/info/automake.info
/usr/local/share/info/automake.info
/usr/share/info/automake.info.gz
/usr/local/info/automake.info
/usr/local/gnu/info/automake.info
$
Finally, info -aw as shows both *manpages* (multiple times) and one info
hit, like this:
$ info -aw as
*manpages*
*manpages*
/usr/share/info/as.info.gz
*manpages*
*manpages*
$
Help? I think the ideal would be to replicate the Info searching
algorithm as much as possible; thus the output for info -aw as would be:
/usr/share/info/as.info.gz
*manpages*
etc.
Anyway, here is the debug output for that last, in case it matters.
$ info -aw --debug=-1 as
