I'd like to know if there's still a > problem we need to consider for Emacs 29. In my view, the problem is that the documentation string for Info-additional-directory-list is not correct. It seems that this customization option is still supported in the Emacs 29 branch, so I think it is still a problem regardless of whether this is the recommended customization option. That said, I don't think it is an urgent issue. To answer your question, customizing Info-default-directory-list is one valid workaround. It does require some care to keep the default set of directories it generates, but this snippet seems to work: (custom-set-variables '(Info-default-directory-list (append Info-default-directory-list '("/path/to/my/info/files/")))) Thanks. >=20 > Thanks.
