No. THere will be no texinfo format, as suggested by Thomas Esser and Karl Berry. texi2* use the (pdf)tex binaries as is without the format. There is no texinfo format in either the teTeX nor TeX live distribution.

By uploading new packages of tetex-base which don't depend on texinfo - but since there's no real bad effect, we can as well wait until we upload, anyway. By the way, * changed dependency to tex-common | tetex-bin (<< 3.0) to be installable on current sid. This is only understandable when you know the history of texinfo packages not uploaded to Debian.

I tested it, on sid+tetex/experimental and sid+texlive, but of course I forgot sid only.

New -1 packages are on the tug server. install on current sid. work with texlive work with tetex/experimental. lintian clean. pbuilder clean. Hope this is better now. Sorry.

You should make it a habit to test upgrading packages before you upload or provide new versions: Because it depends on tex-common, but tex-common conflicts with tetex in sid, it cannot be installed. If you write Depends: *, tex-common | tetex-bin (<< 3.0) it should work (I only tried with --force-depends). Just tried, it does, although there's now an ugly circular dependency between texinfo and tetex-base; both upgrading texinfo when tetex-base is installed, and installing texinfo and tetex-base in one run works.

Bug#320413: Take over of texinfo/info packages
Hi Frank! Please get the version 4.8-1 from the tug server. I have fixed all the lintian warnings and errors, changed maintainer, added several bug-closings due to upstream fixes. And stole the manpage from tetex. The package is lintian clean and build in my pbuilder/sid.

Done. After the package is in Debian I will work on the other bugs. Probably most of them are also solved by upstream already, but this has to be checked.

Hi Frank, hi Josip, hi all! For more than 5 weeks no answer. How do we proceed with this? We should think about something rather soon, as with teTeX 3 going into unstable texinfo is broken.

Dear Josip! I would like to ask you if I can take over texinfo from you. I have prepared a package for new upstream (see other emails) fixing an important bug which stops teTeX-3.0 to enter unstable.
