The ARM is the standard reference manual for the Ada language, which is the language that ada-mode supports. So it is convenient to have the info version available. The ARM is available on the web in info (http://stephe-leake.org/ada/arm.html) and other (http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/ada12.html) formats. It is also available as a Debian (and possibly other distribution) package. So including the ARM in the ELPA package on some systems would be redundant. Perhaps making the ARM a separate ELPA package would be the right choice. It would be an info-only package, so there would be no .el file to hold the meta-data header. I guess I'd have to add one just for that. Would that be ok? -- -- Stephe
