For Debian's zsh package, I've added the following patch for now: Index: zsh/Doc/Makefile.in =================================================================== --- zsh.orig/Doc/Makefile.in 2013-01-14 01:49:37.000000000 +0100 +++ zsh/Doc/Makefile.in 2013-08-26 08:25:54.468926080 +0200 @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ MAKEINFO = makeinfo TEXI2DVI = texi2dvi DVIPS = dvips -TEXI2HTML = @TEXI2HTML@ --output . --ifinfo --split=chapter --node-files +TEXI2HTML = makeinfo --html --output . --ifinfo --split=chapter --node-files .SUFFIXES: .yo .1 This is the minimal variant to get the HTML docs being built without texi2html, but I suspect there could be adapted variable names and the check for texi2html could be removed from configure.ac. In general, the move from the standalone texi2html to texinfo's makeinfo for HTML generation would mean that the list of build dependencies could be reduced without losing any functionality or having to add another build dependency -- because makeinfo is already needed for building other variants of Zsh's documentation.
