Dear release team, we have a couple of TeX-related packages waiting and would like to ask you to give permission for testing migration once they are old enough. We'll notify you again when each of them has had it's time in sid, but we'd like to know right now whether you are willing to allow them in, so that we can make any further changes or reverts if you ask so.
(I hope this is okay; I guess it saves both of us more time compared to me waiting until the packages are old enough, acting according your requests and discussing again after 10 days) This e-mail is about tex-common, I'll send separate mails for the other packages. I will upload tex-common_0.42 this evening, unless I learn that we need to revert anything, so it is "-1 days" old: tex-common, mostly documentation fixes: ,---- | tex-common (0.42) unstable; urgency=low | | * Minor fixes to the documentation [frn] | * remove the left-over definition of dhit_check_run_without_errors in | postrm-tex, it is included in postrm-texlsr (Closes: #402068). [NP] | | -- Frank KÃŒster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 13:42:01 +0100 | | tex-common (0.41) unstable; urgency=low | | * Install the TDS specification along with the Debian TeX Policy | (closes: #401196) [frank] | * Register ucf files with ucfr (closes: #395018) [frank] | * Refined wording and typography of the documentation documents | | -- Frank KÃŒster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 6 Dec 2006 19:03:21 +0100 | | tex-common (0.40) unstable; urgency=low | | * Register TeX-on-Debian and the policy with doc-base | * Change the wording of Policy to indicate more clearly that everything | can (and should) be done using dh_installtex. | | -- Frank KÃŒster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 6 Dec 2006 11:08:26 +0100 `---- These are only text changes in the documentation, except | * Register TeX-on-Debian and the policy with doc-base We added two doc-base files. | * Register ucf files with ucfr (closes: #395018) [frank] Code change in the maintainer scripts - this is trivial and I think if it were buggy, we would have a bug report already. But if you think this should not enter testing, we can revert it. | * remove the left-over definition of dhit_check_run_without_errors in | postrm-tex, it is included in postrm-texlsr (Closes: #402068). [NP] This is a code change that only affects packages that build-depend on tex-common, and it removes a duplicate shell function declaration (the snippet postrm-texlsr is included always, postrm-tex only with certain options to dh_installtex). Its precense in the old version does not hurt anything, it's just useless, neither does it's removal. Are you willing to let this in as it is? Or should we revert the code changes (I hope, not the doc-base registering) to get a documentation-only update? So far for tex-common, Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
