It’d be great if the few ports that currently require it could switch to using Texinfo so we could retire the `texi2html` port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41790> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

It is highly unlikely that they may decide to change their documentation building system right now. This means that texi2html should be kept in MacPorts at least throughout the lifetime of LilyPond 2.18, which probably means more than one year. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41790#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Reply from ffmpeg is [https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3232#comment:2 here] citing scarcity of texi2any in distributions.
...so it appears we have a chicken-and-the-egg problem here. Have any other distributions added texi2any in the last 7 months? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41790#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Personally, I don't think it's a big deal one way or the other. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41790#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
