Bug #: 13750
Summary: Do not build manuals in source directory
Product: glibc
Version: 2.15
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: manual
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jsm28@gcc.gnu.org
CC: roland@gnu.org
Classification: Unclassified
Building manuals in the source directory made sense when info manuals (and
generated Texinfo sources used to build them, I think) were included in release
tarballs (as still mentioned, inaccurately, in install.texi: "The distribution
already includes the on-line formatted version of the manual, as Info files.
You can regenerate those with @w{@code{make info}}, but it shouldn't be
necessary."). Now "make dist" uses "git archive" and these files do not go in
the tarballs. It would seem appropriate to build all formats of documentation
(other than the special INSTALL and NOTES files) in the build directory only
(removing manual/.gitignore).
