TeXlive for Debian - version 2004.05.09.25-1 soon online

Dear friends!

Current Version: 2004.05.09.25-1

A new generation of Debian packages of TeX live are available on the tug
server, as usual
http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html
and get it at
deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/
deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/

Important News (for details see below!):

* new numbering scheme (tlversion.yy.mm.dd) where tlversion
is the last *released* TeX live version and yy.mm.dd is the current
date. This way we can have regular releases 200N-debrelease and
additional releases between official TeX live releases.

* I fixed all problems which I found in the last week(s), especially
problems with fmt generation and different languages.

* New maintainer adress, and email contact point:
Debian TeX live Maintainers <pkg-texlive-maint.TakeThisOut@lists.alioth.debian.org>
if someone wants to help/cooperate you are invited to subscribe to
this list!!

* reworked the tug website http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html

As usual, the log files of the creation process are in
http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/log/
The file lintian.log shows that the errors/warnings are getting less.
The two errors now present are rubbish, lintian is stupid on this.

Other thing:
cm-super (now again distributed half sized)
NEWS: the font files are again under dpkg control, *and* the
md5sums are correct, *and* the distributed .deb is still only
half the size. I hacked around the md5sum stuff.
deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ cm-super/
deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ cm-super/
texinfo working with tetex 3.0 and texlive:
deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ texinfo/
deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ texinfo/

Please give the packages a test if you are running sid.

News from last version:
25.09.2005 NP
* Change the test for fmtutil-sys --byhyphen to fmtutil-sys --listcfg
and grep for ^latex.
* Remove the chmod -x stuff, it breaks execution of various web2c/*
scripts (mktexupd, tcfmgr, ...)
* Switch to new numbering scheme (tlversion.yy.mm.dd) where tlversion
is the last *released* TeX live version and yy.mm.dd is the current
date. This way we can have regular releases 200N-debrelease and
additional releases between official TeX live releases.
* Fix the order of ifs in postrm scripts so that first the existence of
fmtutil-sys is checked, and then wether the latex fmt is installed.
* Add myself to the Uploaders field.
* New source version, including up to perforce change #8177

24.09.2005 NP
* Forget to remove the "all" from the generated rules file. It does
not hurt at build time, but I don't like it.
* add the fmtutil-sys --byhyphen calling check also to the postrm scripts
* remove x bit from all files under texlive-trees at source packages
built time

23.09.2005 NP
* Fix the lang postinst scripts so that fmtutil-sys --byhyphen is only
called if language.dat is found. This is not the optimal method, but
the best I can think of ATM.
* Actually copy source and not source.development from the depot
* make the architecture parameter to tpm2deb unnecessary and put config
for this into the tpm2deb.cfg file. Update all the debian/rules files.
* Change Maintainer to:
Debian TeX live Maintainers <pkg-texlive-maint.TakeThisOut@lists.alioth.debian.org>
* Added some documentation to tpm2deb.pl, and cleaned up the script

Best wishes

Norbert

CHIPPING ONGAR (n.)
The disgust and embarrassment (or 'ongar') felt by an observer in the
presence of a person festooned with kirbies (q.v.) when they don't
know them well enough to tell them to wipe them off, invariably this
'ongar' is accompanied by an involuntary staccato twitching of the leg
(or 'chipping')

Hello Norbert,

Thanks for the great work.

A little glitch with the texlive-htmlxml package. It cannot find the
"marvosym.sty" when it tries to generate the jadetex format file, but no
such dependency requirement is listed in the package information.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:
