Package: texinfo
Version: 5.2.0.dfsg.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hello,
In new versions of texinfo, the behaviour of makeinfo -D option changed
so that the -D "variable value" no longer works.
eg.
$ cat test.texi
@value{var1}
$ # older version (4.13)
$ makeinfo -v -D 'var1 foo' -o test.info test.texi
makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.13
Making info file `test.info' from `test.texi'.
$ cat test.info
This is test.info, produced by makeinfo version 4.13 from test.texi.
foo
$ # new version of makeinfo (5.2)
$ makeinfo -v -D 'var1 foo' -o test.info test.texi
test.texi:1: warning: undefined flag: var1
Output file test.info
test.texi: warning: document without nodes
gyx@miz:~/bugs.d.o/texinfo$ cat test.info
This is test.info, produced by makeinfo version 5.2 from test.texi.
{No value for 'var1'}

End Tag Table
$
A patch is attached that could hopefully fix this bug. (However, I
didn't check the old implementation's source for the exact semantics
of "-D".)
Cheers,
GUO Yixuan
