Yes, if you are a single user who wants to stay up-to-date with the bleeding edge development, this is a very good method. Still, the makefile has an "install" target, and that should do something useful for people who want to install the package, maybe for a group of users. > I prefer to use the git working copy (if it can be called that) folder > as the location of the package instead of installing it before use. > > > One minor bug report; > > Makefile does not generate the info file upon calling make.

No, because the danger is too high that systems do not have the tools in place to correctly create the info file. And the same Makefile is used in the distribution (zip and tar) files, which contain the ready info file. I think from a git user I can ask this extra step. I will make is so that make all will also make the info file, ok? - Carsten
