The first two are so close that they are redundant; it is better to have just one of them. I think "development" is the more important of the two. The third one is 10 lines away. Maybe that is far enough not to be redundant. It is a judgment call. > 3 matches for "Package from Source" in buffer: *info* > 800:* git source of package: Package from Source. > 1513:* package development source: Package from Source. > 2083:* upstream source, for packages: Package from Source. Rotating the words in an index entry makes another index entry. It can be useful to have multiple rotations of the same words. For instance, "development source, of package" might be useful in addition to "package development source". "Upstream source, of package" might be useful in addition to "package upstream source". Each of them is useful to have in the index if more than a few users will look for the term that way in the index, and it isn't redundant with other index entries for the same place. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
