Re: [O] How to install recent documentation of org 8.2?

[M]

thanks a lot!
I found the old versions of the org documentation in the same path
/usr/share/info and replaced them by the new org file from the doc
directory.

Sure, when installing the next version I'll have to think of that, but at
least now it works.
