emacs-lisp-intro DIR-ENTRY error

emacs-lisp-intro DIR-ENTRY error

[Kirk Hilliard]

Package: emacs-lisp-intro
Version: 2.04
Summary: The texinfo file sets filename "emacs-lisp-intro.info",
         but uses the name "eintr" for its dir entry.


In emacs-lisp-intro-2.04.tar.gz, all emacs-lisp-intro.info* files
contain the lines:
  START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
  * Emacs Lisp Intro: (eintr).
                          A simple introduction to Emacs Lisp programming.
  END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

This comes from the emacs-lisp-intro.texi file which contains the lines:
  @dircategory Emacs
  @direntry
  * Emacs Lisp Intro: (eintr).
                          A simple introduction to Emacs Lisp programming.
  @end direntry

But emacs-lisp-intro.texi also contains the line:
  @setfilename emacs-lisp-intro.info


The name in the @direntry line should be changed from "eintr" to
"emacs-lisp-intro" in the next release.


Please let me know if there is a bug-reporting address that is more
specific to this emacs-lisp-intro package.

Thanks,

Thank you for your report.

Well, actually we fixed this the other way around: @setfilename now
uses eintr.

emacs-lisp-intro.texi is part of the Emacs distribution now.  You
probably caught it half way between an independent package and full
inclusion in the Emacs distro.

That's cool.

Where?  I looked in emacs-21.4a.tar.gz and didn't find it.  Specifically:
  $ tar tzvf emacs-21.4a.tar.gz | grep intro
  $ 
[I don't see anything suggestive of it amongst the 70 .texi files either.]

There is an intro.texi in elisp-manual_21-2.8.orig.tar.gz, but that is
the introduction the the elisp manual itself.


Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,
Kirk

I meant in the current development sources.  You can see that in the
Emacs CVS tree.  The next released version will have the intro
bundled.

Ahah, I understand.

You have probably already considered this, but when you do release it,
you may wish to put a file, explaining its bundling, called
  emacs-lisp-intro-README-latest-edition
(or something) on the ftp site accompanying the old versions
  emacs-lisp-intro-1.05.tar.gz
  emacs-lisp-intro-2.04.tar.gz
  emacs-lisp-intro-README
  emacs-lisp-intro-README-2nd-edition
so those who miss the news and just check the ftp site will know what
happened.

Thanks tons,
