The Maverick packages are still missing some of the TeX packages that we require. So you'll still need to install TeX Live from upstream. The current version is 2010, but the same instructions will install 2010 as written. > Also are people currently working on manuals for Natty, or will the > project wait until it's at least in a "Beta" stage before starting?

We're still finishing up the Maverick edition and haven't started on the Natty edition yet. We typically wait until after the feature freeze to start writing so we have a better idea of what the final release will actually look like. (We have been affected by changes that land post-feature freeze, too, unfortunately.) It never hurts to start making a list of the changes we can expect or should look out for in the upcoming release, however. It makes it easier to organize the writing once the feature freeze rolls around. --Kevin Godby _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
