If I call texi2pdf --debug I do not see any invocations of 'texindex'. May it be that texi2pdf does not call texindex but use an inlined sorting mechanism that cannot cope with @index, only \index? I can try if updating texi2pdf cures the problem.Please try the attached patch and check whether the index reappears. Note that the entries in the concept index most probably are not correct (i.e., we want to have both `foo` and `\foo`, which are different things); I believe I have to play around to get the functionality back that my hack enabled.Thanks, I will try that out. But why does it work with the manual xetex/texindex calls then?
The patch did not solve the problem. A glance into the texi2dvi code showed that rather this tool causes the problem. See http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/diff/util/texi2dvi?id=2405caa6c7ab01d888899af56aa056b1e77485ba Since the version of texi2dvi shipped with my distro (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) is from 2017, it did not accept the new index files in '@index' style as valid. The Texinfo version from the Ubuntu repo is 6.5.0 Applying the patch from the commit mentioned above made the index reappear. Since my distro is not that old, I do not think it would be a good idea to require a newer texinfo version, so I would suggest that we stick with texinfo.tex from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/texinfo.git/commit/util/texi2dvi?id=77390b679e5f4833661fda9f34fd7da119bb942e I will try a complete doc build with this version and compare the resulting pdfs against the ones from our current master.
