Do we have bugs against the info browsers already filed? I have filed
bugs for now only against texinfo documentation with missing dir
entries.
And from the time-line it would mean first to upload texinfo/i-i to
unstable, and then file bugs against the info browsers.
For the upload to unstable, what do you suggest, currently the warning
message from GNU install-info are not filtered out:
$ update-info-dir
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/python2.5-api.info.gz'
...
$
should they be filtered out or left there? I tend to leave it there.
I can do the bug filing, but I am not sure if I can prepare NMUs for all
of them.
Anyway, the package I have prepared for upload to unstable is now
available (signed) from
deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ texinfo/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ texinfo/
If someone wants to take a look before I upload that would be fine.
Best wishes
