How about changing makeinfo to complain when the specified dircategory
is not among the few standard ones ?
I think that would be too frustrating -- the problem is that there is
more than a few. I wouldn't want to prejudge a maintainer's decision on
what category to use.
I suggest we change `Linux' to `GNU/Linux'
Yes. Actually I just removed that category some time ago.
and change `GNU Emacs Lisp'
to `GNU Emacs' (or maybe `Emacs' which is what Emacs uses).
Well, my thought was that the main `Emacs' entry could be in `GNU
packages', and then all the manuals for the elisp addons would be `GNU
Emacs Lisp'. Then the main emacs entry is not lost in the welter of
other emacs-related entries. But I'm certainly not going to insist,
whatever you think best.
Also I don't understand the difference between
`GNU programming tools' and `GNU programming documentation'.
GNU packages: programs that any user might use
GNU programming tools: programs that only programmers use
GNU programming documentation: related documentation for programmers
As in:
GNU programming documentation
* GDB internals: (gdbint). Debugger internals.
* Ld internals: (ldint). GNU linker internals.
* Source config: (cfg-paper). Some theory on configuring source packages.
* Stabs: (stabs). Symbol table debugging information format.
GNU programming tools
* As: (as). Assembler.
* Autoconf: (autoconf). Create source code configuration scripts
* Binutils: (binutils). ar/copy/objdump/nm/size/strip/ranlib.
* Bison: (bison). LALR(1) parser generator.
* CVS: (cvs). Concurrent versions system for source control.
* Cpp: (cpp). The GNU C preprocessor.
...
I'll see if I can come up with some more concrete recommendations and
put them in the manual.
