Description Ingo Krabbe 2002-11-21 04:36:53 UTC
As already crosschecked with GNU texinfo developer Karl Berry, who answered me
on the bugs-texinfo@gnu.org list there is a bug in texinfos install-info
program, which is automatically used by emerge when updating the info directory.

Menu and Node tags of texinfo MUST NOT be translated, since no info reader will
understand such an info node (no but pinfo).  It is a general inconsistency
which is easily solved by a small patch of utils/install-info.c in texinfo sources.

I can sent you the patch Karl Berry sent to me AND/OR an updated
texinfo-4.3.ebuild that will apply that patch.  I've already tested that and
everything works fine, so please get in contact, whoever will be assigned to
this message

I bumped the revision, as this sounds major.
