generating html documentation from LaTeX?
Hi, the package I'm working on (eprover) contains LaTeX documentation that is already compiled into PDF in the upstream tarball. However, since Debian Policy states that the preferred format is HTML, I was thinking about generating documentation also in HTML. I found a nice program, tex4ht, which seems to work quite well. I have a few question though: 1) First, is it a good idea at all to create HTML documentation this way, or is the PDF file enough? If yes then: 2) The HTML page is quite large, ~300k, about the same size as the PDF. Should I put it into a separate package or not? 3) Should I state 'tex4ht' in build dependencies and rebuild the documentation in debian/rules, or should I create it in advance and include it as a diff/patch? (This might be a bit complicated as the generated documentation contains PNG images of formulas, which diff/patch tools don't like). Thanks for your opinions/advices. Best regards, Petr

Consider also using HeVeA for that purpose.

I have a few question though: 1) First, is it a good idea at all to create HTML documentation this way, or is the PDF file enough?

Evaluate if the whole doc dir needs to be in a different package: what it's size compared to the rest of the package? if it's the same or higher, then split out a -doc package, if not, leave in the binary package as is not. 3) Should I state 'tex4ht' in build dependencies and rebuild the documentation in debian/rules, or should I create it in advance and include it as a diff/patch? (This might be a bit complicated as the generated documentation contains PNG images of formulas, which diff/patch tools don't like). Generate that doc in debian/rules file, so it's generated at each package build (but remember it's not needed to generate doc each time if it's a arch:any package, just once it's fine, on your machine).

I have a few question though: 2) The HTML page is quite large, ~300k, about the same size as the PDF. Should I put it into a separate package or not? You could use the sectioning options for tex4ht (look at the log file after running htlatex for additional options to fine tune the output of tex4ht) to decide how to split the output so that individual pages are not too big. 3) Should I state 'tex4ht' in build dependencies and rebuild the documentation in debian/rules, or should I create it in advance and include it as a diff/patch? I think the first method is better. It may be possible to make a separate -doc package which is arch all. This way you could build the documentation only once and you avoid loading the buildd's. You can also use Build-Depends-Indep to put tex4ht only as a Build dependency only for the arch independent build. However with only 300k worth of documentation (:-)) this may not be worth the effort.

RFS: libsvm (bug fixed)
Dear mentors I am looking for sponsorship for my package 'libsvm'. It closes the bug #517447. I intend to adopt it since I am from the group developing libsvm and we are very willing to help maintain the system and keep it updated. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libsvm/ Package description: The LIBSVM library is used to calculate Support Vector Machine optimizations with a great variety of powerful options. It includes one-class, two-class, multiclass, regression-mode, and probablistic output functionality. It is primarily of interest to machine-learning researchers and artificial intelligence application developers. Thanks in advance. Chen-Tse
