  • Bug#872950: debian-policy: Too much indirection in info file menus

    From Guillem Jover@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 22 23:40:02 2017

    Package: debian-policy
    Version: 4.1.0.0

    Hi!

    The info file, on its initial page contains a Menu with the following
    entries:

    ,---
    * Menu:

    * Version::
    * Contents::
    * Legal Notice::
    `---

    For which Version contains a one-liner. It would be nicer if Contents
    would get expanded into the main Menu.

    Thanks,
    Guillem

    Just FYI, some of these bugs are likely to be assigned to Sphinx (with
    affects on debian-policy), since I think this is just generic upstream
    Sphinx behavior, but I'll take a look and see if there's a way to make
    this better before reassigning.

    (We didn't have info pages before, so I just turned this on because we
    could, as sort of a bonus.)

    I managed to fix this as well by leaving out the section headings in the top-level document.
