The actual "legal" procedure is documented in +debian/copyright.header. + +- Prerequisites + + Perl packages + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + The following packages need to be installed: + libconfig-general-perl, ? + + libxml-dom-perl would be nice, too, but currently there's a copy in + "Master" in the texlive sources + + Similarly, Tpm.pm from texlive's "Master" is needed. If you have + libxml-dom-perl installed and put Tpm.pm in a subdirectory "Tools" + somewhere, passing the parent of "Tools" to the script as Master + *should* work. Untested! + + + Source trees + ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Obviously, you need the tree(s) you want to check - that would mean + either tetex-base and tetex-src, or tetex-bin (in the future...), or + texlive. + + Furthermore, you need a local copy of the TeX Catalogue for reading + the license info. Or not - you can pass --nocatalogue to the + script, it will then ignore the non-existence of the catalogue. + This is useful for verifying that the files listed in a tpm file are + correct, and all under the same license. Please also try to check + (e.g. using the catalogue that comes with tetex-doc or the online + catalogue) whether a license is registered *and* verified (probably + that's impossible with the html version?), and anyway submit license + information with the corrected tpm file. + +- Calling the script + + The packages now have a configuration file in the svn tree. If that + doesn't fit your setup, you can override it with a file in your home + directory, or you can pass long command line options + (--master=some/dir to override the "Master = some/other/dir" in the + configuration file). _______________________________________________ Pkg-tetex-commits mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-tetex-commits
