Incidentally, while I was trying different versions last night (for the
LaTeX starred-figure issue), I saw the following warnings during "make":
In toplevel form:
ox-texinfo.el:1683:1:Warning: !! The file uses old-style backquotes !!
This functionality has been obsolete for more than 10 years already
and will be removed soon. See (elisp)Backquote in the manual.
ox-texinfo.el:1717:1:Warning: !! The file uses old-style backquotes !!
This functionality has been obsolete for more than 10 years already
and will be removed soon. See (elisp)Backquote in the manual.
I don't see that this is logged at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-issues.html
-- while it's not a critical issue obviously, it seems untidy and I'm at
pains to imagine a good reason to retain syntax that has been deprecated
for such a long time.

I can't reproduce this.
The lines that throw warnings for you are both docstrings with the
version of ox-texinfo.el I just pulled from git-master.
hth,

I'm unclear how. I didn't see this message in Emacs. It's during
"make." That has to do only with the git repository, nothing about
installation.
$ pwd

I see in the git log for ox-texinfo that Carsten got rid of old
style backquoting on September 19th. Yours must be older than that?
All the best,
Tom

Well, as I said before, I'm using the stable release tag for 8.2. I do
not habitually use the latest from master. Org is one area where I
don't want to expose myself to bleeding-edge bugs.
It seems that the commit for ox-texinfo.el did not make it into
release_8.2. So, if this is no longer an issue in master, then I'm
satisfied with that.
So, I think nothing more to discuss about this.

You are on your own branch, with unknown modifications.

The current ox-texinfo doesn't have any backquotes, let alone old-style
ones anywhere near those lines. How about you'd compare your branch to
the release tag and see what changes you've made:
git diff release_8.2.4

Achim.

For the record: I just upgraded to release_8.2.4 and the warnings in
ox-texinfo.el are gone.
The only reason I was on my own branch in case I decide to tinker with
something. I don't want to mess up any branches in my local git repository.
So, as a matter of course, when I upgrade, I check out the release tag and
then do "git checkout -b hjh8.2.4" for example.
I had never touched ox-texinfo.el, so I knew that "unknown changes" were
not going to affect the issue. You didn't know that -- perfectly okay to
cover all the bases.
Anyway, I consider this thread to be closed.
