1 I emerged emacs last night, and I noticed the following:
2
3 * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
4 ('cl', None, None, '.gz')
5 ('emacs', None, None, '.gz')
6 ('eshell', None, None, '.gz')
7 ('forms', None, None, '.gz')
8 ('ediff', None, None, '.gz')
9 ('ebrowse', None, None, '.gz')
10 ('gnus', None, None, '.gz')
11 ('idlwave', None, None, '.gz')
12 * Processed 84 info files: 8 errors; type emerge --verbose to view
13 errors.
14
15 I think this happens because there is no DIR entry in those specific
16 info files. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'm not sure if my
17 system is out-of-wack, or it's an issue with such packages. The annoying
18 part is that these same "errors" will show up in the output of any
19 subsequent packages emerged.
20
21 I'd also like to know what to do with such errors for .ebuilds i create.
22 I am thinking I will patch each offending info file to include the DIR
23 entry. Sound good?
24
25 Thanks
