Actually in Debian the user is able to choose whether to use teTeX or
TeX Live. And it is even possible to add packages from TeX Live to a
teTeX installation (or the other way round, but that is less
interesting). However, for this to work it is necessary for depending
packages to provide suitable alternatives. At the moment sisu-pdf
depends on:
tetex-bin
tetex-extra
texlive-latex-extra
It would be good if you would change this into
tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin
tetex-extra | texlive-latex-extra
texlive-latex-extra
Thank you, I will do as you suggest in future packaging,
and will look towards primarily using texlive.
My request for the addition to tetex is to enable me to
continue to provide users the option of using tetex, as
it works fine but for the absence of the single
"manyfoot.sty"
(i.e. at present this is the reason texlive-latex-extra is
needed, and i would still prefer the option of not needing
it, or rather choosing between either if possible)
(I am not completly sure what your actual dependencies are on the LaTeX
level. Please cross check.)
will do, thank you.
As Frank said, teTeX is dead upstream, so it is quite likely that TeX
Live will be the TeX system of choice on Debian in the not so far future.
teTeX is dead long live TeX Live... or something like that,
all's well.
