automake-1.7.9-texinfo-pdf.patch
Fix backported from texinfo.tex supplied by dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2007. Patch was generated against automake-1.7.9, but applies to the others too.
it'd be better if the changes were back ported from newer automake versions Created attachment 199555 [details, diff]
Patch between automake-1.7.9 and automake-git
This file is in automake-git kept in sync against a "upstream" which makes it nearly impossible to figure out what commit made this file work (at least for me) so here is a patch to make texinfo from automak-1.7.9 up to date with automake-git.
Since it is so many versions broken by the same problem maybe it is a idea to just have the automake-git version of the file distributed as its own bz2 and fetched and replaced if USE="test" for packages that encounters this problem? Or there are more things broken becouse of this file? |
