Subject: Re: bug#11034: Binutils, GDB, GCC and Automake's 'cygnus' option
Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 09:08:00 -0000 [thread overview]

- Have them distributed (automake's default). This means that
they will be build in the srcdir, not in the builddir: of
course, this only affects the maintainer, since for a user that
builds the package from a tarball those files should *not* be
rebuilt, hence there is no problem even if the user's srcdir is
read-only.
This has always been the right way to do things.
- Don't distribute the generated info files. [...] In this
case, the user will have to to have the 'makeinfo' program
available to build them.
Please don't do this, it causes all kinds of headaches, like the small
fact that makeinfo will now be required to bootstrap.
