Never seen this before. No matter that there might be good technical reason to this it should be adopted to the "usual" users. A user does look into a README first, finds no build infos and then looks for a BUILD file. Can't find one and tries INSTALL (which is not intended to have build infos because build and install are different things). User (me) found an INSTALL and stuck to it. configure-make-system is usual and known. No need to read all the docs from the beginning (where the link is to the exception INSTALL.REPO). So I just started at "2." and it failed because I used a git repo instead of a tarball. You see. IMHO it would improve the things if you would join INSTALL and INSTALL.REPO back together and also put a TOC on top of it. I assume there is technically no way to remove the difference between tarball-build and git-build, right? Kind Christian Related to: 62482@debbugs.gnu.org 62480@debbugs.gnu.org
