What are the ownership and permissions of those files?

Please send the entire build log as an attachment.

PS it would be helpful to set your locale to English for this process.

Well, that was clear and helpful...

Are you cryptically implying that `sudo make install' has generated the
info files in the source directory with root ownership, which he is then
unable to overwrite as a normal user?

Why would this be a new phenomenon?

It's your Wife and Girlfriend?

Anyway, moving on...

I think the normal expectation is that `make' will build anything that
`make install' needs. The Emacs build does not work like this: building
the info files is deferred to the install step.

It seems to me that the `all' target should also run the `info' rule.
I know we are supposed to cater to people without makeinfo, but I can't
see how this is a factor here.

But it does not affect releases, where the info files are premade, so no
rush to change this now.

After deleting the whole repo and recloning it from my local repo, I
could rebuild, pull some changes and boostrap without such problem, the
owner of ./info/*.info file is me with "rw" perms and other only "r".
So probably this have been fixed, don't understand how, because I have
regenerated the make file several times these last weeks.

Thanks and sorry for the noise, I will post you more info if the problem
happen again.

The issue is this:

Plain `make' does not build the info/ files.
`make install' does.
(Confusingly, so too does `make bootstrap'.)

So when you ran
  make
  sudo make install
You ended up with the info/ files owned by root.

Then the next time you ran `make bootstrap' as a normal user, you lacked
permission to update the info/ files.


So we should change it so that `make' builds the info files.
But not right now.
