[tex-live] TeXlive for Debian - new packages on tug

[Norbert Preining]

Dear friends!

A new generation of Debian packages of TeX live are available on the tug
server, as usual see
	http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html
and get it at
 	deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/
 	deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/

Note: If you had an older version of the packages installed, PLEASE
completely purge these packages before installing the new ones! THe
reason for this: The location of files have changed and some files have
been replaced by symlinks, which with a normal upgrade process gives
problems!

News:
  * Fix installation of /var/cache/font etc, make it multi user able
  * Link verious config files into /etc/texmf
  * remove generated formats in the postrm script
  * dynamically generate ChangeLog file from the ChangeLog of tpm2deb

Upcoming (with the next packages):
  * Include the included packages and their title in the long description
    of the control files, and generate the control files automatically.

eg:
Package: texlive-basic
...
Description: TeXLive: Essential programs and files
 These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering
 plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common
 drivers.
 .
 This package includes the following CTAN packages:
 bibtex -- Bibliography management for LaTeX.
 cm -- Computer Modern fonts.
 cmex -- The cmex package.
 dvips -- A dvi to PostScript driver.
 enctex --  A tex extension translating input on its way into TeX. 
 fontname -- Naming scheme for naming fonts in TeX.
 makeindex --  Process index output to produce typesettable code. 
 metafont -- Macro package for TeX (the most popular).
 misc -- Miscellaneous macros for TeX and MF.
 plain -- The Plain TeX format.
 tex-ps -- TeX to PostScript generic macros and add-ons.


Best wishes

Norbert

TWEMLOW GREEN (n.)
The colour of some of Nigel Rees's trousers, worn in the mistaken
belief that they go rather well with his sproston green (q.v.)
jackets.
