Re: Emacs cvs newbie problems

[Richard Stallman]

    The dir file in /usr/local/info was installed (or updated) by
    emacs-21.3.50.

    The dir file in /usr/share/info (a symlink to /etc/info-dir) came with
    Red Hat 7.2.

    The dir file in /usr/info was installed by texinfo-4.2.

This could be a problem we have to fix, an inconsistency between Emacs
and Texinfo.  Maybe Emacs should install into /usr/info if it has a
dir file in it.

Should Texinfo (and Emacs) install into /usr/share/info rather than /usr/info?

Could Emacs be smarter about merging the various Info dir files?

Karl, would you be willing to study the situation and make a
recommendation?
