Hi,
I've noticed that section 5.2 in README.developers-howto is outdated
regarding the documentation; it is no longer necessary to build
maxima.texi by hand, as suggested in share/template.texi

A more up-to-date recommendation would be:

 --  Move my_package.texi to maxima/doc/info

     Put my_package.texi on the list of files in
     maxima/doc/info/Makefile.am

     Add a line for my_package in the section "Additional packages"
     in file maxima/doc/info/include-maxima.texi.in
     The line should have the following syntax:

     * my_package::       Brief description of my package.

     Notice that the additional packages are currently added in
     alphabetical order.

I hope this helps and once I start experimenting with git I will update
README.developers-howto and share/template.texi if nobody does it
before.

Cheers,
Jaime
