Yup.  The request was for A4 and odd page opens, which should be
independent options, I think...

And in any case, I had misunderstood the documentation -- I thought
@ifset was about environment variables, but they aren't.  They're about
flags, so you're right: The only way to inject the flags are via -t
switches.

Did anyone ask for all those additional options?

And you can always make the addition targets just set a value of a
Make variable, which will then be picked up by -t.

Anyway, just an idea.  If no one likes it, I'm okay.

I hoped we could get away with adding this functionality without adding

PAGE_SIZE_A4=t make emacs.pdf

(or something) would allow skipping actually making new rules, I think?

Yes, that's true.

Thanks; that was a simple enough patch.  :-)

But I don't think it's something we can apply in general -- the
officially printed Emacs manuals are on US paper sizes, and I don't
think that's going to change.

I had a look at somehow making a new Makefile target for A4 pages, but
it doesn't seem like texi2pdf takes paper size as a parameter either, so
all the texi files would need to have

@ifset A4
...
@endif

or something, and then a Makefile target could set that variable.  But
that seems like a lot of verbiage to add to the .texi files, so I don't
know...

I am afraid, but also retrieving the the mail from my archive, the patch is corrupted as you have described.

BTW this search has shown an issue with RMAIL on Windows build!

Let's see what developers think about it.

Thanks,

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately gotten no
responses yet.)

It seems like your patch was mangled during transportation -- could you
resend it if you still have it?

Could you add an option to build emacs.pdf etc. in A4 format and the 
PDFs open chapters on odd page?

For example, in the case of emacs.pdf I often use this patch

diff -Naur emacs.orig/doc/emacs/emacs.texi emacs/doc/emacs/emacs.texi
