Bug#380034: Request for the inclusion of manyfoot.sty in tetex-extra

A number of scholarly writings need multiple footnote streams. manyfoot and, as soon as it is released on CTAN, bigfoot would be very valuable additions. However, it is not going to happen, because teTeX is dead upstream. In unstable, there's already an alternative, TeXLive, which has manyfoot in texlive-latex-extra.

Actually in Debian the user is able to choose whether to use teTeX or TeX Live. And it is even possible to add packages from TeX Live to a teTeX installation (or the other way round, but that is less interesting). However, for this to work it is necessary for depending packages to provide suitable alternatives. At the moment sisu-pdf depends on: tetex-bin tetex-extra texlive-latex-extra It would be good if you would change this into tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin tetex-extra | texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-extra (I am not completly sure what your actual dependencies are on the LaTeX level. Please cross check.) As Frank said, teTeX is dead upstream, so it is quite likely that TeX Live will be the TeX system of choice on Debian in the not so far future. cheerio ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

My request for the addition to tetex is to enable me to continue to provide users the option of using tetex, as it works fine but for the absence of the single manyfoot.sty (i.e. at present this is the reason texlive-latex-extra is needed, and i would still prefer the option of not needing it, or rather choosing between either if possible) (I am not completly sure what your actual dependencies are on the LaTeX level. Please cross check.) will do, thank you.

Bug#380034: Request for the inclusion of manyfoot.sty in tetex-extra
Package: tetex-base Version: 3.0-20 Severity: wishlist Request for the inclusion of manyfoot.sty in tetex-extra. A number of scholarly writings need multiple footnote streams. manyfoot.sty is a known and documented latex package: documented in The LaTeX Companion 2nd ed. pages 122-125. (it is currently to be found on the Debian system I believe in texlive-latex-extra). [there is some personal interest, sisu (sisu-pdf) has come to depend on the presence of manyfoot.sty, and though there will be little problem working with texlive, there seems no good reason why the choice of either tetex or texlive should be precluded for this reason alone (i.e. the lack of a useful and recognised latex package manyfoot in tetex)... please].
