Comment (by ballapete):

 The different versions play no big role for basic maintenance. They do
 **not** vary in installing/registering the INFO file or doing the
 contrary. In the first case it's just `install-info <the INFO file> dir`
 and deinstalling works with `install-info --delete <the INFO file> dir` –
 see `man install-info`.

 But beware: it works to install/register for example `gindent` because
 `install-info` just copies the description from the given INFO file into
 the `dir` file at the given place. De-installation will fail, because
 there is no `gindent` file recorded in `dir`.  And it would also fail when
 you tell `install-info --delete indent.info dir`:

 {{{
 install-info: No such file or directory für indent.info
 }}}

 Maybe `port` works better in version 2.8.2?
