Dear Neil!
(This emails goes Cc to: Jörg Jaspert as ftpmaster who was responsible
for texlive, and to Marc Brockschmidt as my AM)
The next generation of the texlive packages have gone through the usual
procedures (clean pbuilder install
old-upgrade-remove-install-purge-install) and about 1.5 weeks of testing
on my system. So I would like to ask you to sponsor again the packages.
I know that it is a big task and a lot of work, so big thanks in
advance. After discussion on the debian-tetex-maint ML we came to the
conclusion that an upload to unstable is ok. So this release should go
into unstable.
The current set of packages fixes more or less all open bugs of the
texlive packages, the one about texdoc not finding files is left open as
it needs deeper reorganizing and longer testing.
Some important points from this release:
- more packages are compatible with tetex (all the texlive-lang-*)
packages are not compatible (with some exceptions)
- lmodern has been split out (reducing the size again quite some bit)
since the lmodern in Debian unstable is back to maintained status and
cooperates nicely with texlive. Other packages which are never more
included but instead requested from Debian are dvi2tty, texpower,
dvipdfmx.
- The `texlive' package now does not depend on *all* packages of TeX
live, but only on a small set of recommended ones. Therefore, a new
package `texlive-full' has been created which pulls in all packages.
(Sorry to the ftp masters that thus the packages have to go thorugh
the new queue again). This was done due to several requests (private
and on ml) that texlive should not actually depend on all packages,
but provide a decent subset.
The packages are as usual on the tug server, and .dsc and .changes and
Release files are signed by me.

Thanks a lot and all the best
