Re: fixing install-info warnings for lilypond
Hi all,
(taking tex-live@tug.org from the list, that has NOTHING to do with texlive
upsream!, and breaking the thread)

I see a few not necessarily exclusive solutions:
- simple and quick: move the dircategory/info declarations from the
lilypond-web.info to the respective .texi files.
- long term: allow a way to make install-info ignore these files
Currently update-info-dir (in /u/sbin) just uses all files from the
info dir, skipping over dir/dirgz/-324 /png files (see script for
exact list).
One could install some of these files with the extension
.sinfo
and make update-info-dir skip these files
- move the info file that do NOT contain dirsections, to a completely
different dircetory, and include in the main lilypond-web.info links
with full path to these files.
(not sure if that will work out)
Any further suggestions, or remarks to the above?
Best wishes
Norbert
