…les. It's hard to track patches when you're patching patches.
update patches to match changes in code

Unless I am missing something, this is the only actual change – the others below are already commented out.
Not sure what to make of the "...info documentation, it has been removed" comment either; those .info files are built and installed into %p/share/info, and without that patch exactly the same number of files is installed.
It seems $(INFO_DEPS) is only ever referred to in the uninstall-info-am and maintainer-clean-aminfo targets, which are probably irrelevant for the Fink build.

yeah, that patch is a mess because the original Debian patch comments out INFO_DEPS, TEXINFOS, and info_TEXINFOS, but then @akhansen undid all but INFO_DEPS but in a weird way.
Compare https://raw.githubusercontent.com/debian-tex/texinfo/00a08ac10804f2fc712c3372940e1535850d1eed/debian/patches/dont_build_info and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fink/fink-distributions/560b8a84237ecd880a58a3d3152704ee9cc93a88/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/text/texinfo-dont_build_info.patch side-by-side. I've left the patch logic as if for now since it's what we have had for 8 years, but I think we might be able to get rid of it since like you said, there's no change in the installed content.

Check ffmpeg builds with the new texinfo. Might need to be patched and versioned BDep, since they apparently use non-stable internal APIs. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2024-12/msg00081.html |

freshly commited ffmpeg-6.1.2 is patched to work with texinfo-6.8 (as before) and now with 7.2 |
Update from our oldish 6.8 to latest 7.2
Mostly minor changes. The current texinfo.patch includes patches that are then applied (they seem to have been inherited from Debian). I took those patches out of texinfo.patch into individual patch files to make tracking easier.
I don't know about the need to keep carrying
texinfo-dont_build_info.patch. It was added back in e4e4ffc (2016) in our texinfo-6.3 days. Debian removed that patch with texinfo-6.7 at debian-tex/texinfo@ded8ba0 when the docs became DFSG approved. I've kept the spirit of the patch as is (updated for current code), but I think we are basically applying it then @akhansen modified it to basically reverse it in 7b916c0 .There's also a fix to allow jpg files in share/info as per #1178
