Subject:	Fwd: [Texinfo] Remove DJGPP support files?
To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello DJGPP users, I was advised to ask you about whether anybody
uses recent Texinfo releases on DJGPP.  We are considering removing
what attempts at supporting DJGPP currently exist.  See my mail below
to the Texinfo development list.

It is likely we will remove attempts at supporting DJGPP unless there is
evidence that somebody is actually using it successfully.

Best regards
Gavin

Subject: Remove DJGPP support files?

There is still a top-level directory in the Texinfo distribution
called "djgpp".  I don't remember any reports from anybody building
or running Texinfo on DJGPP.  All the mailing list posts I could find
on it are from over 10 years ago.  I don't know if Texinfo would still
build on this platform.

We still have a comment in configure.ac:

AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h:config.in])dnl Keep filename to 8.3 for MS-DOS.

I doubt this is relevant any more as many of the filenames are much longer,
especially in texi2any.  I very much doubt that the package could be built
on a system with 8.3 length filenames (although I am not sure to what
extent DJGPP programs could use longer filenames).

Unless there are reports that a recent release of Texinfo acually builds
and runs on DJGPP (most relevant would be releases with the Perl texi2any,
after version 5.0) and that this is useful to somebody, then I would
propose removing the code that purports to support it.  This would be
the "djgpp" subdirectory and a small amount of platform-conditional
code elsewhere.
