Subject: ELPAing all the GNU manuals
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2014 10:36:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87tx3st7cs.fsf@ferrier.me.uk> (raw)

Should I do this?

All GNU manuals are free. Therefore they can be redistributed.

All GNU manuals have texinfo (well, I'm only interested in the ones that
do).

Texinfo manuals can be turned into packages.

Therefore we can put all GNU texinfo manuals into ELPA.

I'd be happy to work out a script for doing it since I am going to do
pretty much the same for my HTML info reader.


Opinions please.


Nic
