I use VC, but I do not believe that this is a VC problem.
When I revert a .texi file in emacs/lispref using `C-x v u' and then run:
make maintainer-clean
./configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars
make bootstrap
sudo make install
then elisp* in emacs/info does not get updated. I do not remember
running into this problem before and since I do stuff like that a
lot, it might be due to a relatively recent change.
>From the Makefile:
# make maintainer-clean
# Delete everything from the current directory that can be
# reconstructed with this Makefile. This typically includes
# everything deleted by distclean, plus more: .elc files,
# C source files produced by Bison, tags tables, info files,
# and so on.
Note that it says `info files', but I checked that after `make
maintainer-clean', my info files in emacs/info are still there.
Should they still be? They definitely _can_ be reconstructed using
the Makefile.
Sincerely,
Luc.

It also says ``from the current directory''.

Since the info files are generated by this makefile, I think it is
right for maintainer-clean in this makefile to delete them.

It makes bootstrapping fail:

(cd man; make info)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/man'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `info'.

Makefile:127: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/teirllm/emacscvsdir/emacs/lispref'
make: *** [info] Error 2
The problem is probably just a trivial typo or such, but I am not
familiar at all with the Makefiles, so I do not see it.
Sincerely,
Luc.

Watch out for TABs. Each command in a rule must be indented by a TAB.

That was indeed the problem. Thanks.

Yes, it does fix it. Of course, I guess we should do this not only
for the Elisp manual , but for the other manuals included with the
Emacs CVS distribution as well.
Sincerely,
Luc.

I see that maintainer-clean in man/Makefile.in has code to delete the
info files, but it was commented out because they are in a different
directory. Meanwhile, the `info' directory doesn't have a makefile at
all.
I think that it is correct for maintainer-clean in a certain makefile
to delete files made by that makefile, even if they are in other
directories. I will raise the issue of changing the coding standards
in that way.
