Description Alan Schmitt 2004-05-27 03:30:03 UTC
Whenever I do an emerge which regenerates the info index, I get warnings about the   gnucash-design info files having no info dir entry.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v some package that adds info files
Actual Results:  
 * Regenerating GNU info directory index...
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/gnucash-design.info.gz'
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/g-wrap.info.gz'
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/g-wrap.info-1.gz'
install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/g-wrap.info-2.gz'
 * Processed 289 info files; 4 errors.

Expected Results:  
no warning should be given

The g-wrap missing entry is already filed as bug 42895
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42895). I have not found any bug
mentioning the gnucash-design warning.

doug, can you do that stuff again?

Created attachment 35706 [details, diff]
Re-makes gnucash-design.info

The attached patch is to be applied against gnucash-1.8.9.ebuild. Version 1.8.8
does not have the same problem and does not need to be patched.

The gnucash-design.texinfo file contains the proper INFO-DIR section; however,
an empty gnucash-design.info file is being shipped with the tarball.
Unfortunately make considers the shipped info file to be up to date and does
not recreate a correct version. The attached patch adds two lines to
src_compile to explicitly recreate gnucash-design.info.

I've submitted a bug report upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147839 so hopefully a proper info file will be distributed with the next version.
