I just installed magit through the package install feature built
within Emacs and it all went off smoothly, dependencies and all.  That
is nice, indeed.  However it doesn't seem to install the docs along
with it in Emacs.d folder.  Is it something that needs to be done
separately?  And I didn't find it in the package listings.  Wouldn't
significant packages like magit, auctex need to provide the
documentation as info files too?

I installed magit with melpa and i have magit.info along with other
files.  Also emacs adds the path to magit dir to `Info-directory-list'
as described in info: (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages").

that's interesting!  I can't seem to find it anywhere on my system.
I'm using Emacs-24.3 on Win 7.  I should probably file a bug report.

I use Emacs 24.3.1, but i'm on GNU/Linux.  For me all magit files
(including info) are placed in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/magit-20131021.1104/
(it's a bit outdated i suppose).

Perhaps you have a problem with compilation of Texinfo files on your
system.

Good point but I do have texinfo and other bits and bobs needed to
compile info files.  And I sometimes compile packages manually through
the cygwin route.  So, it's all there somewhere.  I've raised a ticket
on the magit github issue tracker.  Thanks for the help.

I also have missing info files, installed with the same Emacs but on OS
X:

schmitta@top-wifi ~/.e/e/magit-20131124.2030 (master)> ls
AUTHORS.md         magit-autoloads.el magit-blame.elc    magit-key-mode.elc magit-pkg.elc      magit-wip.elc      magit.elc
README.md          magit-blame.el     magit-key-mode.el  magit-pkg.el       magit-wip.el       magit.el

I don't think I have a problem with building info files, as it's the
only package with which I have a problem.

Alan

I've raised a ticket on the magit github bug tracker and someone there
has commented on it and flagged it.  So, we should know in a few days
or when their time permits what they propose to do.

If you use homebrew you can try setting environment variable
HOMEBREW_KEEP_INFO to yes.

By default brew removes info files.
