Friends - I am finishing up my work on a system-texlive package. It will also have tetex-base-texlive and tetex-texmf-texlive packages. With these three packages most, or at least many, packages will be able to work with TeX Live that currently require teTeX. The current status of various packages is shown below.
HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PARAGRAPH: I have a question. Currently the way I have it set up is that system- texlive adds /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/<whatever> to the PATH. It could, instead, install symbolic links in %p/bin to each of the executables in the actual bin directory. Which approach would be preferable? The changed approach would fix a few of the problems noted below: Current package status: The following packages all rebuild and install without error; I have not tested them in detail (or, indeed, at all, except for the ones I use, e.g., auctex): asymptote, auctex, bash-doc, bibtex2html, bibtool, chess-tex, clhep, clhep2, eukleides, foiltex, gengen, gfont, gnucap, gnuplot, gri, hevea, indent, latex2html, latex2rtf, lyx-qt, mathabx, matplotlib-py, miktex-tools, octave, pdfjam, r-base, rubber, tex2im, texmacs, winefish The following packages need the kpathsea library, which TeX Live does not provide: ec-fonts-mftraced, ipe6, lilypond, mftrace, ptexenc, and pyx-py If someone else knows how to do kpathsea that would be great, otherwise I'll figure it out myself and create a kpathsea package The following packages are made obsolete by TeX Live: cm-super, enumitem, ifmslide, jadetex, latex-beamer, latex-figbib, latex-make, pdfscreen, pdfslide, pdfsync, pgf, powerdot, ppower4, prosper, tex4ht, texpower, tipa, unicode-tex, xcolor, xdvi, xetex, xkeyval There are a few packages that will need other fixes: luximono - executes %p/bin/update-map, but system-texlive adds texlive's bin to the path, so update-map isn't there polyxmass-doc - undefined control sequence \ding in some latex stuff feynmf - checks for mktexlsr in %p/bin ha-prosper - depends on prosper (>= 1.5-1) but prosper is Provided by system-texlive doxygen and doxygen1.3 - depend on tetex-base (>= 2.0-1) but tetex- base-texlive Provides tetex-base klatexformula - ditto ptex-texmf - depends on tetex-texmf (>= 3.0-1) but tetex-texmf is Provided by tetex-texmf-texlive tex-guy and vflib3 - depend on tetex-dev and/or tetex-shlibs I'm unsure of the status of lcdf-typetools -- the current package needs kpathsea, but I think that everything it provides is provided by TeX Live. I'm currently looking into that. Peace - John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
