gsed @4.9 does not install (register) its texinfo file in dir file

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

sh-3.2# pushd /opt/local/share/info ; for INFO in *.info ; do INFO="`echo $INFO | awk -F. '{ print $1 }'`"; printf "»» $INFO: ";  if [ `grep "\($INFO\)" dir | wc -l` -gt 0 ] ; then echo OK ; else echo "** missing **" ; fi; done

reports

»» gsed: ** missing **

All all hints of gsed are missing in dir file.

install-info gsed.info dir

would do the job.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

It does not work straight forward… The cause is in the INFO-DIR-SECTION of the INFO file which contains:

  13 INFO-DIR-SECTION Text creation and manipulation
  14 START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
  15 * sed: (sed).                   Stream EDitor.
  16 
  17 END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

and so the info utility gets directed to a file sed.info which does not actually exist here. More patching is needed.

gsed: use gnu_info PG

Closes: #66842

The updated version of Portfile still has a fault. It installs

DEBUG: activating file: /opt/local/share/man/man1/gsed.1.gz
DEBUG: Executing proc-post-org.macports.activate-activate-0
DEBUG: Registering GNU info file /opt/local/share/info/gsed.info in /opt/local/share/info/dir using /opt/local/bin/install-info

DEBUG: Executing portactivate::activate_finish
DEBUG: Executing org.macports.main (gsed)

as

* sed: (sed).                   Stream EDitor.  

and so the INFO file

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel  212886 2023-02-06 02:49 gsed.info

is unavailable. The problem is not solved yet.
