Subject: bug#6322: 23.1; Redundant hint in INSTALL

From: [email-masked]
Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 22:01:28 +0100

The current bzr INSTALL file (as of a few hours ago, at least!)
contains the following hint:

  You can also save some space by compressing (with `gzip') Info files
  and installed Lisp source (.el) files which have corresponding .elc
  versions.

This is automatically done by `make install', so it would seem that
the hint is redundant and could be removed.

In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
 of 2010-03-29 on rothera, modified by Debian
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10706000
