Hi all!
I want to hear your opinion on the packaging concept of TeXlive for
Debian:
Proposal for a Debian packaging system for TeXlive
==================================================
(last update: 2004-01-05)
All debian package names are prefixed with tl-
The tpm in texmf/tpm/ (collection-*, bin-*, lib-*, hyphen-*, scheme-*)
are mapped to debian packages.
Mapping:
bin-XXX -> tl-XXX-bin (standard debian notation)
collection-XXX -> tl-XXX
lib-XXX -> tl-lib-XXX (??)
hyphen-XXX -> tl-hyphen-XXX
scheme-XXX -> tl-scheme-XXX
TPM-Requires between these packages are mapped to Debian Dependencies.
All other files obtained from a TPM-Require are included in the
debian package.
Thus we have:
binaries:
tl-afm2pl-bin tl-aleph-bin tl-amstex-bin tl-bibtex-bin ...
collection:
tl-basic tl-bibtexextra tl-binaries tl-chemistry tl-context ...
libs:
tl-lib-freetype2 tl-lib-gd ...
schemes:
tl-scheme-basic tl-scheme-context tl-scheme-full ...
As an example, tl-chemistry Debian-depends on
(binaries)
(no)
(other collection)
tl-basic
and includes the files from
bpchem.tpm chemarrow.tpm chemcono.tpm mhchem.tpm xymtex.tpm
===================================================================
Any suggestions? I will start on writing some stuff to get debian
packages from the tpm files, using Tpm.pm from Fabrice.
Best wishes
Norbert
