[Swarm-Support] what info files should a swarm build generate

[Paul Johnson]

Hi, guys:

I installed Fedora 10 and built a Swarm RPM, but have trouble installing 
it because the package I built tries to overwrite /usr/share/info/dir.  
I'm not an info guy, I'm more of a man guy. And I never worried much 
about these things that pop out of a Swarm install.  Unless they break 
the RPM.  Then I care.

In previous builds of Swarm, the only info file I've seen installed is 
the objc-features.info file.  This new trouble maker, called "dir", is 
trying to overwrite the main info directory, and I can't have that.  So 
perhaps the Swarm build is looking to see if a dir file currently 
exists, and because it does not exist in the "empty" fake install 
directory, then it creates one? 

I think I did not see this conflict in F7 or F8 before because the info 
target directory  was guessed as /usr/info, but in this F10 box, it is 
choosing /usr/share/info

Throw me a pointer, I'll track it down.  I may just try to block the 
installation of any info files, if I can figure how to do that without 
making the RPM  build script get mad at me.
