# Quick hack to make the `info' command work properly. `info' needs a
|
|
# "dir" file containing all the installed Info files, which we don't
|
|
# have (it would be impure to have a package installation update some
|
|
# global "dir" file). So this wrapper script around "info" builds a
|
|
# temporary "dir" file on the fly. This is a bit slow (on a cold
|
|
# cache) but not unacceptably so.
