Hi,
I'm relatively new to both (the awesome) org-mode, el-get and emacs, so I
think I just describe what problem I encountered when installing org-mode
via el-get. Hopefully someone can point me into the right direction where
to look (el-get or org-mode) in order to fix that problem.
I just installed org-mode via the recipe provided with the current
development version of el-get [1]. Org-Mode is installed correctly into
emacs.d/el-get/org-mode and the docs can be found in the doc subfolder. The
recipe [2] adds the doc to the info via the :info "doc" property. However,
when going to the info browser with C-h i the org-mode docs cannot be
found. In the doc subfolder there is a file called "org" (no filename
extension), which looks like the info file. After doing a "cp org org.info"
the org-mode info shows up in the info browser.
What do you think, is the recipe flawed, that is should it point to
"doc/org", or did the build process not build the org.info file correctly?
Best regards,
Markus

El-get for whatever reason seems to think that all info files have a
".info" suffix, but they appear to never check if that assumption is
true. I don't understand how they set up the info tree further on from
looking at the sources. File a bug report for el-get I'd say.
The ".info" suffix has actually only been added quite recently with
Emacs 24.1.50 and info continues to work correctly without any suffix,
so I don't understand why el-get seemingly insists on it.
Regards,
Achim.

Thanks for the explanation. I filed an issue on github for that, see

Looking at this a bit this morning, I'm not sure that it is el-get (at
least alone) that is insisting on the .info suffix. The portion of elisp in
el-get that adds the .info suffix:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(if (string= (substring infofile -5) ".info")
infofile
(concat infofile ".info"))
#+end_src
(Side note, I did try a work around,
https://github.com/SkydiveMike/el-get/commit/88920c84bbe4d814bae1e79cdda163315d8d8d24that
doesn't work).
Is only called if the ~dir~' file does not exist (and other conditions) and
as part of creating a command string for ~/usr/bin/install-info~. Since an
non-built (no execution of ~make~) Org mode Git clone has a ~dir~ file,
this code is never called.
I also don't believe that ~cp org org.info~ in
~$HOME/.emacs.d/el-get/org-mode/~ fixes things (I currently can't get the
correct info to display using that).

After some more investigation, I don't think this is a bug with either Org or el-get. I had other issues with my Info path setups in my specific configuration (Emacs on OS X from http://emacsformacosx.com) that included an invalid build-directory artifact and more significantly always put the Emacs ``info'' directory as the first item in my ``Info-directory-list''. This meant that the built-in Org info would always supersede the info for my current version of Org (installed by el-get).
Once I resolved all of that, my Emacs Info now sees the correct version of Org info from el-get without needing to ``cp org org.info''.

Sorry for the noise.

The file (1) command is available on some systems and makes guesses
about file formats to help users sort out unknown files. Maybe a for
loop in a script could find the info files and do so more reliably than
only checking a file's suffix. I think there's also a rather expensive
book available for sale called "the file formats book" and from those
I've talked to after they've had a chance to read it they think it's
worth the money.
