Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Paul Gevers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As my first contribution to Debian I intend to package the MiKTeX tools from Christian Schenks MiKTeX project. * Package name : miktex-tools Version : 2.7.2960 Upstream Author : Christian Schenk * URL : http://miktex.org/unx * License : GNU General Public Licence, Other/Proprietary License Programming Lang : C++ Description : MPM (MiKTeX Package Manager) is a command-line program used to install TeX packages from a web-based MiKTeX package repository. MPM was originally intended to be a tool for MiKTeX users. But the program can be helpful for users of other TeX systems too, because many of the MiKTeX packages are system-independent. Several additional utility programs are also included: * initexmf is used to configure MiKTeX. * md5walk is used to calculate the fingerprint of a package. * mpc (MiKTeX Package Creator) is used to maintain the contents of a custom package repository. * mthelp is a utility to lookup TeX package documentation. Information about MiKTeX tools can be found at http://miktex.org/unx/. This package is quite large and unfortunately also involves libraries, but I believe that I nearly coped with that. I do have some issue figuring out how the License should read. The text in the project itself says: """ Copying conditions for MiKTeX To the best of my knowledge, all software in this distribution is freely redistributable (libre, that is, not necessarily gratis), within the Free Software Foundation's definition and Debian Free Software Guidelines. If you find any non-free files included, please contact me. That said, MiKTeX has neither a single copyright holder nor a single license covering its entire contents, since it is a collection of many disparate packages. Therefore, you may copy, modify, and/or redistribute software from MiKTeX only if you comply with the requirements placed thereon by the owners of the respective packages. To most easily learn these requirements, I suggest checking the TeX Catalogue at: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/catalogue.html (or any CTAN mirror). The Catalogue is also included in MiKTeX in doc/html/catalogue/, but the online version will have updates. Of course the legal statements within the packages themselves are the final authority. """ Should I really check every single file in the project for Debian?
