Dear Release Managers, the previous upload of texlive-bin to oldstable has fixed the 5-year-old-LaTeX problem only for LaTeX itself, and for those formats that load LaTeX and do it with the same configuration.
Two formats, however, are missing \scrollmode in their ini file, which means that the format generation engine will wait for input when it encounters the LaTeX warning. With \scrollmode, the process will just continue, and the format generation script has a chance to distinguish between errors and (this case) warning. This has been reported in bugs #534428 and #534199, which are closed by the upload of texlive-lang and texlive-extra found in the queue for oldstable-proposed-updates. Please consider them for inclusion. The changes are again minimal, one file in the binary package plus the changelog is changed in each case. texlive-lang needs a new patch in debian/patches, in texlive-extra the changed ini file is already below debian/. Here come the diff's: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff -Nur texlive-lang-2005.dfsg.2/debian/changelog texlive-lang-2005.dfsg.2.new/debian/changelog --- texlive-lang-2005.dfsg.2/debian/changelog 2009-07-02 19:52:06.000000000 +0200 +++ texlive-lang-2005.dfsg.2.new/debian/changelog 2009-07-02 11:32:03.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +texlive-lang (2005.dfsg.2-6) oldstable-proposed-updates; urgency=low + + * Add \scrollmode to cslatex.ini, so that format building won't stop + when LaTeX is older than 5 years and issues a warning (closes: + #534428) + + -- Frank KÃŒster <[email protected]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:31:54 +0200 + texlive-lang (2005.dfsg.2-5) unstable; urgency=low * Fix a typo in the NEWS.
