I'm working my way through the devmanual and a sentence referred to a usage of "einfo" that didn't exist in the sample code. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Read this page: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/autotools/index.html#simple-autotools-patching-example The sentence: "The einfo message before running autotools is not mandatory." There is no use of einfo in the preceding example
Created attachment 763733 [details, diff] [PATCH] general-concepts/autotools: Adjust comment around einfo
einfo was removed when the example was updated in commit d9e28f40be32f76224ef0dbe2f3163e0615896f1. Thank you for the patch, but two comments: - I wonder if we shouldn't recommend ebegin/eend instead? - Certainly the wording "sometimes ... something ... something" could be improved. :) Or maybe we should drop the paragraph altogether; messages around eautoreconf are very unusual. @sam: Any opinion?
I considered just deleting the sentence, I'm sure the devmanual explains the use of einfo/ebegin/eend elsewhere :-)
Created attachment 763741 [details, diff] [PATCH] general-concepts/autotools: Remove comment re info Patch that just removes the paragraph talking about einfo.
