Hi guys, Since there is a precedent set with the convert-mans shell script, I thought it might be alright to add a simple shell script to rebuild the info dir file. I'm always trying to remember the commands, then end up looking here:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter06/texinfo.html So, here's one implementation of a shell script that could be installed as /usr/bin/rebuild-info. ===== #!/bin/bash DIRS= if [ "$@" ]; then DIRS=$@ else DIRS=/usr/share/info fi for D in $DIRS; do [ -d ${D} ] || { echo -e "\nError: \"$D\" is not a directory\!\n" >&2 exit 1 } cd $D rm -f dir for info in *; do install-info $info dir 2>/dev/null done unset info done ===== What do you guys think? I'm not closely attached to any details in the script. It's just what seemed reasonable to me. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
