Re: [Flex-devel] texi2dvi dependency

[Mighty Jo <mig...@gm...>]

Very welcome. Something I learned about missing: it only supports a handful
of programs. If you try to use it with something it doesn't support it
won't rewrite the exit code for missing programs - which is the whole
point. In those cases a colon (:) works just as well but doesn't produce
help text.

You can get the list of missing's supported programs with

./build-aux/missing -h

from the distro root.
