Nice feature, but not the Debian standard AFAIK. postinst should call install-info to make an entry in /usr/info/dir. And again: It's not okay to force every Emacs-user to load w3; postinst makes such an entry in site-start.el. I think, it would be a good idea to split the package: the w3 stuff as it comes from ftp.cs.indiana.edu and a minor package with the additional .el files. There's no need to change the name of the package (w3 -> w3-el). Thanks for all the work, Karl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Karl Eichwalder Subject: Bug#1483: Acknowledgement (was: w3-el-2.2.16-1.tar.gz doesn't build) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
