Subject: [RFC 0/2] Allow ancient versions of makeinfo
Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2023 10:26:31 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230830162836.2257576-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)

This short series tries to fix PR 30703, where old versions of
makeinfo don't work for BFD.  I think the underlying cause is that the
BFD doc comments (and/or chew) haven't kept up with how texinfo is
expected to work.  However, it seemed most straightforward to just
revert the offending patch.

Let me know what you think.  I don't have the old makeinfo so I don't
actually know whether this patch is sufficient.

Tom
