Fix initial github workflow

No description provided.

As there are no other users and the commit is not too old, I'd suggest to place all those changes into the previous one and force-push the branch afterwards (so one instead of 2-N commits for the workflow).

Note: It would be nice to have both the PDF and the HTML versions generated.
Another note: you likely don't need libtool libdb5.3-dev libxml2-dev libcjson-dev bison flex help2man gettext in this workflow.

[lefessan]

Yes, I will squash everything in the previous commit. I was forced to push that first commit, otherwise Github would not start testing it :-(

[lefessan]

Note that I get the same error locally on my computer: makeinfo segfaults on gnucobpg, but not on other files. This is a known behavior ?

[lefessan]

@vbcoen Wondering if you want to review the changes to .texi files in this PR ?

[GitMensch]

this PR currently mixes changes that are:

• for the mirror only (should be here, actually stashed to the previous commit)
• are reasonable tex internal changes -> should get into upstream directly
• have some changes at least I don't understand

Note that "cobc - The GnuCOBOL Compiler - Runtime options" doesn't make any sense - either that refers to dialect or compile options or this is not related to cobc in the first place

No. Also "some time ago" it definitely did work.
Do you still have the segfault after the changes?

If there is a segfault in makeinfo, then there's definitely a bug there; please send reproducible steps with a link to the files needed to the appropriate bug tracker.
Ideally you can download its debug package and start the process under gdb, to include a backtrace when that happens to the bug report.

I cannot see where these changes are stored and available to preview, at least with the changes to the indexing and menu etc.

Are they available ?

I moved the changes to the indexing/menu in another PR, this one just fixes html generation on the Github Actions.

For any PR, if you want to see the generated files, you can go in the corresponding checks -> Ubuntu Workflow -> Summay -> Artefacts, there should be one zip for all pdfs, and another one for html pages.

I just fixed the reference. That's the original title of the corresponding section. I understand it as "there are the options that the compiler accepts at runtime", by opposition with the options that can be used to build the compiler ("compile time option").

[GitMensch]

Please adjust this - the only "real" compile time options are which libraries are used (the others don't make much difference for the use of cobc).

[GitMensch]

Do you have an idea what this "B" is? Looks like two times the identical thing, no?
@vbcoen Did I miss something here? [if it is to be removed, then this should be done after the technical change which removes the renumbering problem, @lefessan could commit both the technical and "minor tweaks" change if you agree.

[lefessan]

Indeed, it looks like it documents the same function twice, with a different explanation. Maybe somebody started improving the description by copying it temporarily, but never finished the job ?
