Default

just trying to be all-inclusive. One can script those. I have an
alias which runs a shell script, that puts .texi or .info files
(gtar, for example, includes 14 .texi which are AFAIK not
installed by the port, and erased by make install clean)
(I forget which) in the /port/ so I can (1) peruse them with the
cli in my signature (as of today at least); also warns me if
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ in other words, I *did* use
/pinfo/ but just discovered the other one a few days ago ;
.................................................. .........................
dependencies change so I can change to another TTY and
install stuff before the distinfo download, plus one or two
other customizations. But people are always asking about
port install fixes on these forums without knowing the
base tools which may work...

1... without having to learn the INFO browsing techniques. Even
if the INFO (.texi) were installed.
