Martin, I agree with you that stability is important, and I plan to update Fink's teTeX rather infrequently. There were lots of good reasons for updating right now however, to the new teTeX 2.0 upstream release. Perhaps the main one is that the licensing issues have finally been sorted out, so that we will be able to release teTeX in binary form now (which was not possible in the past). -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
