[Cgdb-devel] Bug in cgdb.texinfo

[Andrew L. <lof...@fa...>]

Hi all,

I've just discovered cgdb via cgywin, and now I'm trying to get it
packaged in Fedora Extras.  I've noticed a minor problem, though.  There
needs to be some spaces (or tabs) between the name of the texinfo node
and the title.  Otherwise, info can't find the correct node from the dir
menu.  Here's a diff:

--- cgdb-0.6.3/doc/cgdb.info    2006-06-03 14:10:03.000000000 -0400
+++ cgdb-0.6.3/doc/cgdb.info.new        2006-06-24 08:31:26.000000000

Yes, I see this now, thanks.
I will apply this to the trunk.

Thanks,

I've applied the patch. It looks like this now.

    START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
    * CGDB: (CGDB).                   GNU Ncurses front end to GDB.
    END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

Do you mind building CGDB from source and telling me if things work for
you now? Also, are you going to activly maintain CGDB in the Fedora
Extras? If so, we could put this on our web site (cgdb.sf.net).

Hey Bob,

I'm sure that the change works--it's very minor.  I haven't yet built the
latest SVN version because I'd have to download texinfo (including tetex)
and, well, I'd rather not at the moment :)

I would like to maintain the package for Fedora Extras, but since I'm not
yet a Fedora contributor, it might take a little while.  By the way, which
features/bug fixes from readline-5.1 are required for cgdb?  Right now
Fedora includes readline-5.0, with some patches.  I've packaged readline-5.1
for Fedora and built my cgdb package against it, but I'm not sure how
successful I'll be at getting the updated readline package into Fedora--it's
part of Core.  It will eventually be updated, but I'm not sure when.
Perhaps you could put both readline-5.1 and cgdb-0.6.3 packages up on
Sourceforge for download?  At least until I get cgdb accepted into Extras.
This would also help get the package into Extras since it needs to be
available somewhere online where others can review it.
