Sorry if it offends, but if there's a different issue, we should address it
separately rather than re-opening (trying to graft one issue onto another
invalid one would only cause confusion), as we'd probably need to re-title,
change the category to be a change request, change the problem description etc.
When you say it's 'clear the issue actually exists'... What issue?
I might guess that the issue you mean is that you want to be able to more
easily install the gnustep-make documentation without installing gnustep-make?
If so, perhaps a patch and/or change request to do that would be more
appropriate? but where would you install it and why (if you don't have a
gnustep environment set up, then you really don't have an install location)?
Perhaps I might guess that you mean, as Sebastian suggested, that you want
documentation to be built and installed along with gnustep-make ... if so,
that's not a (reasonable IMO) change request ... but since what you are asking
for is a change to overall policy rather than a specific package, probably the
mailing list makes more sense.
To be honest though, it looks like you just jumped in at the end of the
quick-start section in the INSTALL document and are now unhappy because running
the last bit of the quick-start process without the earlier parts of the
process didn't do what you expected.
In which case:
a. you aren't likely to do the same thing again and
b. hopefully my changes in trunk will stop anyone else from making the same
mistake.
