This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of the FSF's Texinfo
distribution.  The one source tree (texinfo) produces three binary
packages, `info', which is the standalone Info reader and its
documentation, `texinfo', the actual document formatting system used
to produce Info and TeX files, and `texidoc' which describes how to
write Texinfo files.

This package was put together by Ian Jackson <ijackson@nyx.cs.du.edu>,
from the GNU sources, which were obtained from src.doc.ic.ac.uk in
/gnu/texinfo-3.6.tar.gz.  The changes were minor - mainly just adding
support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding various
debian.* files, and fixing a bug in info/filesys.c (adding .gz to the
list of compressed file extensions).

When installed as a binary package this package does not include the
`info.info' documentation file, as that is part of Debian's Emacs
distribution.  I have therefore patched info/infodoc.c so that the `h'
command will to go to the node (Info-stnd)Top if the file (Info) isn't
available.

The source package contains Emacs Lisp files for formatting Texinfo
documents; however, versions of these files are distributed with
Emacs, so the ones from this package are not installed.
