Hi Karl, hi all,
it seems that some changes to makeinfo broke some old texi files.
The vera.texi from the vera distribution
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/vera/
(released 2013-06-09) cannot be compiled with makeinfo 5 but
with makeinfo 4.
The errors are:
vera.texi:191: warning: unreferenced node `0'
vera.texi:109: node `Top' lacks menu item for `0' despite being its Up target
(many similar ones)
The vera.texi contains lines like:
...
@node Top, 0, (dir), (dir)
...
@node B, C, A, Top
...
Is this intended behaviour? The original bug report on Debian states:
> The requirement to add menu entries when there is already references is
> completly spurious: adding the required menu entries make the info file
> uglier,
> when the references are nicer and faster to navigate.
> And of course is break backard compatibility.
Could you please let us know what you think?
Thanks a lot
Norbert
