Public bug reported: The texlive-latex-extra package in Lucid includes the SageTeX package. I'd like to request that this be removed from the TeXLive packaging in Ubuntu/Debian. This package requires both TL and Sage (http://sagemath.org) to work, and as packaged, SageTeX will not work because it requires sagetex.py, which is only included in texlive-latex- extra-doc.
Sage is updated far more frequently than TeXLive, and most users who use Sage install it from source or from a binary from sagemath.org. As SageTeX is now included by default in Sage, it seems reasonable to not include the SageTeX package in Ubuntu's TeXLive packaging. Thanks. ** Affects: texlive-extra (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- please remove sagetex package from texlive-latex-extra https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512284 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
