Bug#222171: glibc-doc: Floods info-dir with entries.
Package: glibc-doc
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-10
Severity: normal
Tags: sid
Of the 2273 lines in my current info-dir (the Direcory node), 1705 lines
are entry points into the libc info files -- from 'ALTWERASE' to
'{(*__gconv_init_fct)}'. With this many entry points, the directory
isn't nearly as easily browsed as it was with ~570 entries. (When you
know where to go, the 'm' key keeps this from being more of a
pain than it is...except that the 'libc' entry itself has disappeared.)
Hopefully, other maintainers won't find this a good idea, or the
info-dir will most definitely explode.
So, please remove the huge list and add back the 'libc' entry.
The 'libc.info' file does contain a useful index; there's no need to
duplicate it in the directory.
