| 0 | TODO for texinfo Debian package | |
| 1 | ------------------------------- | |
| 2 | * make GNU install-info able to write entries with full path into the | |
| 3 | dir file. This way one could reference other info files | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | * use libpaper/papersize to set /etc/texmf/tex/whatever/texinfo.cnf to | |
| 6 | include @afourpaper in case that papersize=a4. Needs some checking | |
| 7 | like a grep for % ___USE_PAPERSIZE___ in it... | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | * fix the man page for makeinfo to include --document-language | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | * fix the @documentlanguage callback function in makeinfo to change | |
| 12 | the interface_language variable. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | * go through the bugs on bugs.debian.org and check wether they are | |
| 15 | still present or fixed already (by upstream). | |
| 16 |
| 0 | List of open Bugs and comments: | |
| 1 | last changed: 2006-03-10 | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | DONE for 4.8-7 | |
| 4 | 113988: makeinfo: locale settings should not influence output files | |
| 5 | forwarded upstream, version 4.0, need check! | |
| 6 | long discussion on the bug, but no conclusion | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | 115503: texi2dvi: source file directory included in search path | |
| 9 | forwarded upstream, version 4.0, need check! | |
| 10 | upstream: wontfix. How to deal with bugs like this? | |
| 11 | there is already a wontfix and a upstream tag | |
| 12 | TODO: write email to submitter whether he considers this still | |
| 13 | a bug or whether I can close the bug? | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | 204117 texinfo: texinfo.dtd poorly installed | |
| 16 | asked on debian-devel | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | 212549 info should support the "coding" local variable and output correct characters | |
| 19 | no idea what it means | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | 214729: makeinfo --html should generate valid HTML | |
| 22 | wait response from Karl | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | 218557: dies with "Cannot find node `Top'" | |
| 25 | still present, quite interesting, zeros in dir file. Should be | |
| 26 | taken a look at | |
| 27 | [1] I think this could be in build_tags_and_nodes(), in info/nodes.c, | |
| 28 | where the file is already in memory and is parsed for expected | |
| 29 | structures. There we could stuff some error returning code, the | |
| 30 | function simply doesn't update any error flag. | |
| 31 | I have gdbed a run through the function, and while parsing | |
| 32 | /usr/share/info/dir, it simply did not find the end of the TAGS_TABLE | |
| 33 | (at line 402), and called get_nodes_of_info_file(). | |
| 34 | This get_nodes_of_info_file() function has the same problem, it | |
| 35 | doesn't return an useful error but aborts at the first while loop since | |
| 36 | find_node_separator() fails (scans the whole file to find a "node | |
| 37 | start"). | |
| 38 | End result: build_tags_and_nodes parses for tags, but does not report | |
| 39 | problems, and build_tags_and_nodes parses for nodes (by calling a | |
| 40 | helper), but doesn't report problems encountered there neither. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | [2] For example, with my corrupted file still in place: | |
| 43 | bee# install-info --quiet --section "Disk Management" "Disk Management" /usr/share/info/parted.info.gz && echo success success | |
| 44 | bee# info parted | |
| 45 | info: Cannot find node `Top'. | |
| 46 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 47 | Concerning [1]: This could also fix the problem of bug 234848 where | |
| 48 | the man page of top is shown instead of the TOP (dir) | |
| 49 | Concerning [2]: Bug should be cloned and reassigned to the program | |
| 50 | providing install-info, i.e. dpkg. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | 244506 info: menu lacks icon | |
| 53 | umpf, maybe once | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | 245673 info: return the first non-exact match instead of the last | |
| 56 | email sent to submitter | |
| 57 | patch available, does it work? | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | 267357: make Info index: Name Index vs. Concept Index | |
| 60 | Still present, check? | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | 276547: texinfo: @samp{} text should change - to \- in man pages | |
| 63 | no idea what this should do | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | 308063 @xref in man pages can expand to nothing | |
| 66 | not checked | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | 335016 makeinfo --xml generates a document with an invalid DTD | |
| 69 | has to be checked, Karl installed a new DTD which hopefully fixes | |
| 70 | this problem | |
| 71 | Still work to do | |
