Re: wishlist: Please add update-info-dir to distribution (from Debian)

[Karl Berry]

    I'd like to propose that the update-info-dir(8) program would be
    accepted to the the official texinfo package.

Sorry, I don't want to do so.  I don't want to write the documentation,
I don't want lots of users to run it willy-nilly thinking something
perfect will happen, etc.  Plus the script is hardly in the usual GNU
style or using the best constructs, as Norbert himself would be the
first to admit.  Finally, we'd want to have copyright assigned.

As long as it's just in the source distribution, it won't do any harm
and it may help some people, so that's where I want to keep it unless
and until it becomes a lot more robust.

    the latest version[1] and its manual page below.

Thanks, I'll update the copy in texinfo.
