Thanks! Any pointer to what the files with different extensions are?
Here is what I guess
.pat plain patterns
.chr the set of characters used in the pattern file
.hyp hyphenation exceptions
.lic license
Is that correct?
Right.
What of those four files should be part of a contribution, e.g., is the
.chr file automatically generated from the .pat file or is it in the
responsibility of the contributor?
Well, german-x would be the first package to provide such files, so I guess the
rules are still to be established concerning the responsibility of the
contributor :-) As far as I am concerned (hyphen.cfg and etex.src), only .chr
and .pat are used by LuaTeX (which is the only TeX variant to use them). I don't
know what the .chr files are good for, but surely Mojca or Arthur will enlighten us.
Where should contributed files be committed? (In case I can manage to
recover my account data for the svn.)
Personally, I can't see any reason not to ship them with the other files in the
dehyph-exptl on CTAN. Then we'll install them at a proper place in TL (and the
same place as dehypht-x-2009-06-19.tex is certainly a proper place).
