Re: 2.99.11: yet another release candidate

[Willi Burmeister]

Hi,

  I like this feature, but what about calling -sys variants if the
  main tree is writeable by the current user?
 
 Why should one do that?  If a particular user is maintaining the TeX
 tree, it is important that he has the ability to do maintainance both
 for himself as well as the system.

We have a special user 'tex', created only to maintain our TeX tree.
This is not a real user and so there is no need to maintain 'his' user
profile.

We have special user for many global software installations. This makes
it possible to change maintainer without dependencies.

Re: 2.99.9: 3rd (and last?) release candidate

[Willi Burmeister]

Hi Thomas,

 This 2.99.9 is the third (and hopefully last) release candidate of
 teTeX-3.0. texconfig hyphen is now back...
 
 As usual: please, send me feedback, even if it all just works :-)

everything works ok on Sparc Solaris 9 (Sun C 5.5)

Willi

P.S. what about creating an empty 'texmf-local' during install
 just to make clear it's the default place for local addons

Re: 2.99.2 release

Hello Thomas,

 Feedback from the last release is still low (I did receive a few bug
 reports and even less success messages), so I encourage you very much
 to test and send me your results.

I tried it today and it failed :-(

While compiling xpdf with Sun C++ (5.5 2003/03/12) I got lots of 
warnings like this:

--
BuiltinFontTables.cc, line 15: Warning: String literal converted to char* in 
initialization.

CMap.cc, line 64: Warning: String literal converted to char* in formal 
argument msg in call to error(int, char*, ...).
--

These are warnings only, but this last message stoped my work

CC -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I.. -I./.. -I./../goo -I./../fofi -I. -I. 
-DPDF_PARSER_ONLY -c JArithmeticDecoder.cc
JArithmeticDecoder.cc, line 100: Error: JArithmeticDecoder::readByte() has 
already been called and cannot be defined inline.
1 Error(s) detected.

make: *** [libs/xpdf/xpdf/libxpdf.a] Error 2

compiling JArithmeticDecoder.cc with g++ gives no error, but I want 
to compile everthing with Suns compiler.
