Re: Building the .info files in build directory.


Hi,

[Info files being built in source dir]

> FWIW, having a read only source directory is our goal.

When the source dir is readonly, noone can change the texinfo files. If
noone can change the texinfo files, there is no need to rebuild the info
files, so it doesn't matter that they're in a readonly directory.
