Follow-up Comment #7, patch #8202 (project octave):
> Also, I don't think it's a good idea in general to install any files other
than .info into the infodir install path. It's not very polite to users and
packagers who expect only certain types of files to be installed in certain
directories.
Other packages, such as gnutls and libidn, are already installing images into
the info-path. So packagers should already know how to handle it. Maybe due
to the large amount of images we should either prefix them or install them in
an `octave-images' subdirectory.
> I would much rather see a patch that simply wraps the 10 remaining images in
@ifnotinfo blocks, I think that's more consistent with what our manual is
providing.
At least Emacs' info viewer seems capable of handling images and I don't see a
reason why we should cripple the info document artificially.
(With my `-ddumb' (#8203) patch we could even provide an ascii variant for
terminal info viewers.)
