[Resending with corrected Subject.]
The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:
* texinfo-6.1-1
* info-6.1-1
* texinfo-tex-6.1-1
Texinfo is a documentation system that uses a single source file to
produce output in a number of formats, both online and printed (dvi,
html, info, pdf, xml, etc.).
This is an update to the latest upstream release. See the release
announcement
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2016-02/msg00035.html)
for a list of changes since the last release.
Cygwin packaging
================
The info package contains the standalone info viewer as well as the
install-info program. The texinfo package contains everything else
except support for the printable output formats (such as pdf). The
texinfo-tex package supplies the latter. In particular,
/usr/bin/makeinfo is in the texinfo package, but the command 'makeinfo
--pdf' won't work unless you install texinfo-tex.
This release of the info package also contains a postinstall script that
was previously in the _update-info-dir package, which is now obsolete.
