i see this already in the bug discussion:
* texinfo formats are not necessary anymore, since texi2* do not use
the formats, and the new teTeX will not need to generate texinfo formats.
Thus bug #253124 will not be fixed. (Closes: #253124)
i used cyrtexinfo format at least to allow russian hyphenation for texinfo.
and the comment that "texi2* do not use the formats..." is not true
since one can pass via environment variables which executable to call
instead of "tex" or "pdftex" (in this case i would set it to "cyrtexinfo").
to address initial concerns, i suggest to move the cyrtxinf-related
config line for the fmtutil.cnf to the texinfo package or just to
comment out the line for cyrtxinf in fmtutil.cnf, so it will not
create a problem if texinfo is not installed.
alternatively, can someone enlight how one is supposed to use texinfo
with custom patterns (if not via custom formats like cyrtexinfo).
Best,
v.
