You can decide to (temporarily) put the precompiled manual (and the sources) into the package. Then, it doesn't need to build-depend on hyperlatex. That's what the python maintainers in Debian did when I had to move latex2html to non-free. > Alternatively, Roland, would you be willing to put a snapshot into > Debian/testing, as a stopgap? Unfortunately, since the release of Debian "sarge" is near (supposedly some weeks ahead), and Debian is known for rather staying with "stable" packages than with latest releases, I certainly can't do that right now. This doesn't mean that I won't incorporate new versions of packages into Debian, but at this point in the release cycle, we prefer putting the latest versions of upstream (i.e. Tom's hyperlatex :) rather to the "experimental" distribution. When after some time the bug reports don't overwhelm, we can decide on a case by case basis to move it to unstable/testing. After the release of the next stable Debian version, it is no problem anymore. bye, Roland ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
