Hi all!

Ok the -2 are on the server. But with changed address (I don't want
everyone to use intermediate -2 packages ;-)

	deb(-src) http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool.new/

the log files are on
	http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/log.new/

If you test, you have to PURGE all texlive packages before
reinstallation. Sorry for this, but I want a clean start un unstable and
several links have moved to the new package
	texlive-common
this one provides the doc links (so tetex texdoc finds the
documentation) and ls-R link and basic information.

Please test it. I want to ask Neil to do an upload next week. It has
been about 4 months since -1 entered experimental, so I guess it istime
for a new release.

Here I add the changelog entry:

texlive-base (2005-2) unstable; urgency=low

  10.05.2006 NP
  * Build-Dep on tex-common >= 0.22 for working tpm2licenses
  * The build-dep day, finding what all is necessary for a clean build
    with tpm2licenses: libappconfig-perl, libxml-dom-perl
  * Upload to unstable sponsored by Neil McGovern <maulkin at halon.org.uk>
  09.05.2006 NP
  * create new package texlive-common:
    - move the symlink /u/s/texmf-texlive/doc -> ../texlive-doc from
      texlive-base-bin to texlive-common, and the installation of it
      from tpm2deb.pl to texlive-common.links.dist (Closes: #364776)
    - same as above for the /u/s/texmf-texlive/ls-R link
    - let *all* packages depend on texlive-common (which allows the above
      two changes!)
    - add a all.preinst.pre snippet that ensures that all texlive
      packages are *first* purged before the -2 version is installed.
      We don't support upgrade path from experimental. Also add the
      preinst handling which was missing.
    - texlive-common depends on tex-common, the other packages do only
      depend on texlive-common
  * allow all.{post,pre}{inst,rm}.{post,pre} to be merged into all
    maintainer scripts
  * do not install SourceFiles into the binary package.
  * install the README.?? files only into texlive-common
  * update the tl4deb-dep diagram
  * move endfloat.dvi from texlive-latex-recommended to texlive-latex-extra
    (upstream fix necessary)
  08.05.2006 NP
  * move the installation of debianize-updmap form tpm2deb.pl to the
    texlive-base-bin.root 
  * update tpm2liclines from catalogue
  * allow installation of uuencoded files via the .root method, and move
    tl4deb-deptree.pdf.uu into texlive-common.root, remove all references
    to tl4deb-deptree in tpm2deb.pl (especially the rules files)
  * remove all .svn directories at source package build time from debian
  * bump standards version to 3.7.2, no changes necessary
  * install mime entry for dvi in texlive-base-bin (thanks Jörg Sommer)
  * move declaration of build-dependencies into the config file,
    move dpatch into Build-Depends: as it is necessary for clean target.
  * before writing out relation fields, uniq the entries.
  06.05.2006 NP
  * blacklist musixtex, musixps, musixlyr, and let texlive-music depend
    on the updated packages.

    texlive-latex-base
  04.05.2006 NP

  03.05.2006 NP
  * add man page for pdfcrop (written by Frank, thanks)
  02.05.2006 NP
  * texlive-lang-polish conflicts with octave-forge as both provide

  * add man pages for bibtex8, devnag, ps4pdf, musixflx (from Andreas Tille)

  * add support for arbitrary bin-package specific subtrees in addons-per-bin,
