Hallo -
still trying to get this solved. Sorry for another lengthy email.
1) and 2) are for you info. 3) is something where I need advice.
1) License issue:
Markus is going to use LPLL 1.3c in the future to make his `work'
easier to accept. Not immediately, but once he finds the time. He is
not going to accept "all future versions", but that's a non-issue as
long as 1.3c is the latest.
However, these extra statements may appear to some "that someone who
doesn't use the recommended wording, also wants to wriggle out of some
licence conditions". I did some research, as I am interested in the
license issue a bit (economist). In my opinion: Markus wants to stress
that he really cares about compliance with the LPLL, that's all.
I won't spend more time on the license issue, I think the situation is
ok like it is now.
2) upload slaves
There is a person who does the CTAN-upload of koma-script. We agreed
to share the work and I will take care about splitindex (BTW: really
helpful if you have to deal with several indices) and also about the
marginnote package.
3) CTAN / TDS
I have difficulties to understand the TDS-structure from the
documentation I found. The splitindex package as Markus distributes it
currently contains at the top-level three folders:
bin/
man/man1/
texmf/doc/latex/splitindex/
texmf/source/latex/splitindex/
texmf/tex/latex/splitindex/
My reading of the documentation is that the texmf-part is just fine as
it is. But where should the /bin and the /man folder go? I thought
that maybe
/scripts/splitindex/bin
/scripts/splitindex/man
are good places, but maybe a more competent person could comment on
that. Note that /bin/ contains binaries (Perl, Java, linux etc.) and
not platform-independent executables. Then Markus can adjust his
workflow and the next release.
Thanks for your patience -
Daniel
