Does TeX Live 2012 has any known breakage over TeX Live 2009, I'm very glad to learn about it. Because AFAIK TeX stuff has much higher quality than many stuff developed in recent years.
For your Unity example, anyone want the "fun" of Xorg 1.13? Any evidence? For TeX Live upgrading, there was heat 1274 bug for 11.04/11.10/12.04; very concrete evidence. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-base/+bug/712521 It is marked as FIXED but fixings only goes to 12.10. I've read the linked wiki entry many times. It's always a good source of excuses of not fixing a problem in Ubuntu, I appreciate the writing skill. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to texlive-base in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005710 Title: Please update Texlive Status in “texlive-base” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There are thins that are included in the latest Texlive Package and I need them, e.g. Indian Rupee Symbol.
