Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->ashish Over to maintainer (via the GNATS Auto Assign Tool) Hi Trond, Which info files are we talking about here ? Could you please elaborate ? Thanks! -- Ashish SHUKLA | GPG: F682 CDCC 39DC 0FEA E116 20B6 C746 CFA9 E74F A4B0 Sent from my Emacs On Fri, 28 Mar 2014 02:23+0530, Ashish SHUKLA wrote: > Hi Trond, > > Which info files are we talking about here ? Could you please elaborate ? emacs.info for starters. Next, each and every Texinfo manual available in emacs-24.3.tar.xz/emacs-24.3/doc. I usually use portupgrade, but afterwards I had to run make myself in editors/emacs and manually copy emacs.info and the other *.info files to /usr/local/info. Only then was I able to read the Emacs manual using the info reader in Emacs. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | Trond.Endrestol@ximalas.info ACM, NAS, NUUG, SAGE, USENIX | FreeBSD 9.2-S & re-Alpine 2.03 On Thu, 27 Mar 2014 22:36+0100, Trond Endrestøl wrote: > On Fri, 28 Mar 2014 02:23+0530, Ashish SHUKLA wrote: > > > Hi Trond, > > > > Which info files are we talking about here ?

On closer inspection all info files are being installed to /usr/local/share/emacs/info, but neither the info reader in Emacs nor the stand-alone info reader seems to care about /usr/local/share/emacs/info. It most certainly is due to my INFOPATH environment variable, which is currently set to: INFOPATH=.:/home/trond/texinfo:/usr/local/info:/usr/X11R6/info:/usr/share/info It needs a bit of cleanup, I guess. What's the default for INFOPATH nowadays? Should I just remove it? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | Trond.Endrestol@ximalas.info ACM, NAS, NUUG, SAGE, USENIX | FreeBSD 9.2-S & re-Alpine 2.03 On Thu, 27 Mar 2014 23:00:03 +0100 (CET), Trond Endrestøl <Trond.Endrestol@ximalas.info> said: > On Thu, 27 Mar 2014 22:36+0100, Trond Endrestøl wrote: >> On Fri, 28 Mar 2014 02:23+0530, Ashish SHUKLA wrote: >> >> > Hi Trond, >> > >> > Which info files are we talking about here ?

Right, this was done to avoid conflicting with texinfo port which ships the info file with same name. > It most certainly is due to my INFOPATH environment variable, which > is currently set to: > INFOPATH=.:/home/trond/texinfo:/usr/local/info:/usr/X11R6/info:/usr/share/info > It needs a bit of cleanup, I guess. > What's the default for INFOPATH nowadays? > Should I just remove it? Well, Emacs finds its info manuals without setting path explicitly, which I guess is due to compile-time configuration. But, if you like to explicitly set INFOPATH, then I guess add your info directories, and "/usr/local/share/emacs/info". Also, I guess it's fine to close this PR ?
