The versioning of the compiler, versus the standard library, have diverged for a long time, and so the compiler is now separately packaged from the standard library. Also, confusingly, Inform now names two utterly incompatible languages, from the same upstream project (Inform 6 versus Inform 7); so “Inform” is no longer enough to specify what compiler and standard library we are packaging. So, the current packages are: * inform6-compiler * inform6-library and now the ‘inform’ package is obsolete, replaced (as well as can be) by ‘inform6-compiler’.

The documentation that was installed as ‘inform-docs’ turned out, on inspection, to have insufficient grant of license from all copyright holders to distribute as free software. So, I'm omitting it from ‘inform6-compiler’. On 20-May-2025, Alexandre Detiste wrote: > Is "inform" purely an outdated copy of inform6-compiler ?
