It looks like I'm having trouble with my DNS configuration. :-( >> texinfo is required for the built-in documentation. >> >> * gnu/packages/maths.scm (octave)[inputs]: Add texinfo. >> [native-inputs]: Remove texinfo. > >If I read this right, Octave references texinfo at runtime, so it's >moved to inputs for correctness? The commit message is a bit confusing, >since it already has texinfo available :-) Currently, there is a comment above the octave package definition saying that users should install texinfo manually in their profile. My patch allows the user to not have to do that. This is the meaning I was trying to convey with the commit message. What other commit message would you suggest? =
