Subject: aclocal info page is not installed
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2022 00:45:32 +0100

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Running "man aclocal" mentions the availability of a full texinfo manual for the tool at the bottom. However, running "info aclocal" brings up the same man page. I'd like to have this texinfo page shipped alongside the texinfo page that's already installed for the "automake" tool itself.

Subject: [PATCH] doc: refer to automake manual in all man pages
Date: Sun, 13 Mar 2022 00:14:37 -0500

Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/54363.

There is no "aclocal" manual as it's all integrated into the automake
manual, so have all the help2man calls force automake as the manual.

* doc/local.mk: Use --info-page=automake for man pages.
