Directory structure in /usr/shared/info

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

In <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.texinfo.pretest/1093>,
things like translated manuals and graphics were discussed.  Has
there been any agreement in recent years?

Funny enough, I have now the same problem like six years ago, this
time with DEB instead of RPM: All the PNGs in /usr/shared/info are
implicitly compressed.  I found a solution for me, but maybe this
should be sort out in a more general way.

Actually I like the proposal in this mail a lot: Translations are
taken from info/LL/program.info, and graphics from
info/{LL/}program.d/ (without having the program.d prefix in the
Texinfo file).  Or is there already another method?

Tschö,
Torsten.

Hi Torsten,

Nothing has changed in this regard :(.

    taken from info/LL/program.info,

The problem is that info viewers are not prepared to look in
subdirectories of $(infodir) on the one hand, and on the other nothing
is set up to install info files there in the first place.  I confess
that I feel rather stymied about it all.  And since there are very few
translated Texinfo manuals, it's never been a priority to push through.

I wish I had something more useful to say.
