Where are the CVS versions of the info pages?

Where are the CVS versions of the info pages?

[Alan Mackenzie]

In particular, I'm looking for the up to datest version of
..../info/emacs-7.

I went onto savannah.gnu.org, expecting to find it in the same place as
the lisp source files.  However, in 
<http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/info/?hideattic=0>,
only the files .cvsignore, COPYING, and dir were to be found.

I'm confused.  Help, please!

The info files are not source files, but generated with `makeinfo'
from the .texi files in the man directory from Emacs.

Hmmm.  Yes.  I knew that.  I think.

I've now got search.texi v1.37.  Many thanks!

The CVS respository only keeps the sources.  So you want to download
the *.texi files from the man subdir and convert them into info
format yourself.

Maybe it is easiest to just fetch everything, then the usual
./configure; make; make install dance will do the right thing.  (But
read the INSTALL-CVS or README-CVS file for more information.)
