Info directory not included in default installation

[avendael]

While visiting info mode (C-h i), I noticed that the info node for org-mode is not present. I looked into Info-default-directory-list and found this:

Info-default-directory-list is a variable defined in `info.el'.
Its value is
("/usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.5/share/info/emacs/" "/usr/share/info/")

However, there is no such directory /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.5/share/info/emacs/. As a workaround, I copied the info directory contents from the emacs-mac-port repo and restarted emacs. Now I can see the info nodes included in the default emacs installation. It would be nice if these are included in the default emacs-mac installation.

Hi @avendael , sorry for the delay! I am out of town and have limit time facing my laptop...will continue when I get home on Thursday.

It's ok, no worries :)

Hi @avendael , I think I find out why.

Homebrew requests an environment HOMEBREW_KEEP_INFO for formulas who need place info files under /usr/local/share/info

So you need to export HOMEBREW_KEEP_INFO=1 before brew install emacs-mac or keep this in your bash/zsh profile. I am not sure how this variable affects other formulas.

Thanks to point out this, I will update this to readme of homebrew-emacsmacport and formula :)

No problem @railwaycat. Sorry for the late reply and thank you for this :) I'll probably be keeping this variable in my .bashrc because I like manuals 👍 for updating the manual :)
