I think Karl wants DIR to have both its current top-level, include-all menu, and the separate nodes, one each for each category. Yes, that's what I was saying too. If we want each category to go into a separate node of DIR, that would require a relatively simple change to install-info, That is not what I suggested. My suggestion is much simpler: create a few specific categories and put them in subnodes. The Make manual now says: @dircategory GNU Packages @direntry * Make: (make). Remake files automatically. @end direntry My proposal would change that to @dircategory GNU Packages @dircategory Shell Commands @direntry * Make: (make). Remake files automatically. @end direntry I have the feeling that the proposal you're criticizing is not the one I proposed.
