I've updated texlive-texmf.info, from TeX Live 2007 to 2008.
Mass fonts/macros are updated and added in this version.
See texlive-texmf.info for details. Try it out!
If you have some requests/suggestions, please let me know.
It would be very helpful and appreciated if you make a patch
and send it to me with your explanation, since it will take
long time for me to figure out what is the problem and how to
fix it.
[To fink packagers of TeX fonts/macros]
Files in /sw/share/texmf or /sw/etc/texmf.local override the ones
in /sw/share/texmf-dist. The order of priority is determined by
/sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf. The current setting is:
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFDIST}
Roughly speaking, there are three cases:
1. Files of foobar.info are newer than the ones of texlive-texmf.info
No problem.
2. Files of foobar.info are the same as the ones of texlive-texmf.info
No problem, but I recommend the maintainer to update foobar.info,
or else the package is worthless.
3. Files of foobar.info are older than the ones of texlive-texmf.info
The maintainer should update the foobar.info or delete it.
In the deletion case, "Provides: foobar" should be added in
texlive-texmf.info, if some packages depend on foobar.
We definitely have to avoid the case 3. Please check it.
I'd like to emphasize here that the file conflicts never happen
between texlive-texmf and other fink packages as long as files of fink
packages are installed in /sw/share/texmf or /sw/etc/texmf.local.
The success of installation does not mean the package works right.
Thank you for your cooperation.
