Hi all,
Ok, I have new packages available which do:
- support triggers, if a file is dropped into /usr/share/info then
the trigger action of install-info postinst is called. That is
nothing else but calling
update-info-dir
- the wrapper install-info is now trivial:
ginstall-info --dir-file /usr/share/info/dir "$@"
that is not bullet proof, but the old wrapper is not needed because
ginstall-info now support most options.
Here we need someone that tries to install all packages providing
info files ;-)
- install-info is installed in /usr/sbin and the package carries a
Replaces: dpkg (<= 1.14.25) which is current unstable version
I tested it in a chroot and it works. Of course we still have that
packages call install-info "by hand" in addition to the update-info-dir
called by the triggered action. But that will be fixed by debhelper
dh_installinfo.
The update-info-dir is currently also *extremly* dead simple, maybe one
of you can provide/suggest a better approach. Anyway, it is working for
immediate testing:
---- update-info-dir ----
mv /usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/dir.old
for i in `find /usr/share/info -name \*.info.gz -or -name \*.info` ; do
ginstall-info $i /usr/share/info/dir
done

`What's been happening here?' he demanded.
`Oh just the nicest things, sir, just the nicest things.
can I sit on your lap please?'
`Colin, I am going to abandon you to your fate.'
`I'm so happy.'
`It will be very, very nasty for you, and that's just too
bad. Got it?'
`I gurgle with pleasure.'
