/usr/share/info, I think -- it (1) makes sense [info files are `shareable']
(2) is what debian and other gnu/linux systems seem to use.
Sorry, but I don't understand what we are discussing.
Surely the value for infodir should be the same in the emacs
distribution as it is in every other distribution -- namely
$(datarootdir)/info (or $(prefix)/info until datarootdir makes it into
autoconf). And the default prefix should presumably be /usr/local for
emacs as it is for everything else.
Hopefully no one is really proposing hardwiring infodir as
/usr/share/info?! Or making the default prefix be /usr? That makes no
sense to me.
If we want /usr/share/info ...
Why would we want this? I am baffled. What problem are we trying to
solve? As far as I can see, everyone is happy already. Packagers can
get what they want now (by setting prefix=/usr), so they are happy. And
individual sysadmins can get what they want (by leaving prefix alone or
setting it to whatever their local site convention is), so they are
happy.
Am I missing something?
