Sure, I agree. But I really intended a comparison between teTeX ver.2 and (the forthcoming) TeXLive ver.8. As a matter of facts, the binaries provided directly in the TeXLive distribution, as well as the packages provided in its texmf tree, are richer than in teTeX -- and they are a superset of it (in fact, TeXLive is based on teTeX). The point is whether it is more convenient (specifically to the maintainers, but also to the final users) to catch up with the many different packages which are updated in many different moments and possibly not patched to work with teTeX, or just be in sync with the TeXLive which includes all the (patched) packages and it is updated altogether once a year. ciao --e. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
