Hi,
I'm looking around Gnus and am really not comfortable with the build process
around this great elisp... So I will start to clean things a little bit. First
- the docs - texi/Makefile.in:
1. the variable VPATH is not used in the Makefile. Is it used somewhere else?
configure says something about Sun make?
2. What is the reason for XINFOSWI and INFOSWI? I think that the former should
be used for xemacs, but it is not.
3. PDF files. Let me say that I do not use LaTeX. I use only plain for several
years, but I know some basic principles of LaTeX and also I made some
changes for pdfTeX (support for alpha in PNG, TIFF etc.). Why I'm writing
this? Cause I do not like the approach current docs is being built. There
are special files for inclusion of EPS files? Why? As I know LaTeX can
include EPS with includegraphics from graphics package. If it uses it we
can simply make PDF version without almost any change. BTW - I think that
the people who can produce PDF with our current Makefile is king...
4. gnuslogo.refcard is useless because there is the same picture in
ps/gnus-big-logo.eps. LaTeX can scale it.
I will not change anything before you tell me that we should change this and
when the CVS people tell me that they will accept this changes...
This is really annoying:
