*argh* yes I noticed this too, but sadly too late :-(

anyway, the texinfo patches are ready

grab them patches from
http://tecneeq.dyndns.org/~cosmicdj/DragonFly/texinfo-4.6

you'll find there:

Makefile.inc1.patch.bz2
- needed to bootstrap texinfo-4.6 

contrib_texinfo46.tar.bz2
- extract into contrib
- fetch ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-4.6.tar.bz2 + extract it
- README.DELETED -> remove files

gnu_lib_libreadline_readline_doc_Makefile.bz2
- needed for installworld, otherwise it fails
- sry for not providing a patch but my cvs server was/is down :-(

gnu_usr.bin_texinfo.patch.bz2
- for gnu/usr.bin/texinfo

share_mk_bsd.info.mk.patch.bz2
- needed cause there's no --defsection or --defentry anymore

buildworld/installworld were both fine
