No, I followed the instructions in make-tarball.txt, more specifically
the ones starting with this line:
Next, regenerate the various manuals in HTML, PDF, and PS formats:
AFAIU, from the comment in elisp.texi, VERSION "relates mainly to the
published book sold by the FSF". It also doesn't seem to make sense to
be talking about the "edition" of a PDF file distributed on our website
(as compared to the printed book).
I believe we could fix this in intro.texi in the same way as we do in
elisp.texi. See the attached patch.
WDYT?
