I'm trying to package Octave. It seems that it needs Texinfo to build. Furthermore, it does not work with Texinfo 5.2 which is what we have in guix. I looked at patching it, but it would be non-trivial.
I suspect there is still quite a bit of software in the wild that does not work with Texinfo 5.x Can we have Texinfo 5 and Texinfo 4 concurrently in guix?
