Package: tetex-bin Version: 3.0-6.0.sarge1 Severity: important Hi developers of aleph (both of them), hi Debian package maintainers,
since version 3.0 teTeX also provides aleph, a "multilingual variant" of the TeX typesetting system, developed by the aleph project at [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph Unfortunately, there exists a different aleph project, too: Description: The Aleph programming language - runtime Aleph is a multi-threaded functional programming language with dynamic symbol bindings that support the object oriented paradigm. Aleph has a rich set of features providing runtime compatibility with C++. The engine runs on both 32 bits and 64 bits platforms. It is designed to be portable across platforms. (I have tried to find a contact address for aleph upstream, but couldn't; the domain seems to be something very different meanwhile). Both programs provide the binary aleph, which means that currently they can hardly coexist. While it would certainly be possible to find a solution specific to Debian, I think both projects and their users benefit more if a we adopt a solution of general usefulness. What do you think? Regards, Frank OB Debian: I know that this bug is RC, but since tetex-bin_3.0 is only in experimental, tetex-bin_2.0.2-31 is trying to enter testing (C++ transition), and the testing migration scripts don't seem to properly detect that RC bugs in experimental shouldn't affect them, I leave this at important for the time being -- Frank Küster Inst. f.
