Policy states that symlinks within a top-level directory should be relative, and in general this is a good idea. I don't understand why this symlink needs to exist at all, since it is actually easier to access the documentation in the info directory than in the current directory (info gcc-3.1.1 vs. info --file=gcc-3.1.1.info.gz). -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
