Dear Neil!
(This emails goes Cc to: Jörg Jaspert as ftpmaster who was responsible
for texlive, and to Marc Brockschmidt as my AM)
Another try getting texlive into unstable. After your response we added
man pages for all binaries, so now there is no manpage missing.
Furthermore, after suggestion of Frank, I have cleaned the
changelog.Debian entry as it was too long and not interesting for the
users. Instead I include the prior long changelog as CHANGES.packaging
(which produces a lintian warning, but me was told that I can ignore
this one).
The -1 packages have been around 4 month in experimental and only a few
bugs have surfaced (not to say that there aren't any!!), and most of
them (those which did arrive prior to my freeze of the packages) have
been fixed.
(for ftp masters: the last 2 paragraphs are interesting for you)
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.
- in cooperation with the musixtex* maintainer I have updated all the
musixtex packages to work with tetex and texlive, so also the
(big) musixtex packages haven been factored out of texlive.
- 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.
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.
- A new packages `texlive-common' has been created to make proper
cooperation with tetex possible (the ls-R file link and texdoc
support would have been broken without this package).
- License listings has been reworked: Now we try to give for any
file in any package a license statement.
- After discussion with the debian-tetex maintainers I decided that
the texlive packages will start with a clean state, ie upgrades
from experimental packages are *not* supported. You have to
completely purge all texlive packages prior to installation.
The packages are as usual on the tug server, and .dsc and .changes and
Release files are signed by me.
IMPORTANT: The location has changed: I dont want that intermediate -2
packages aren't used and installed. After acceptance the packages will
be moved to the usual pool/log location.
deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool.new/
deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool.new/
Log files of the build process, the lintian runs, the
install-remove-install-purge tests, and the switch test tetex to texlive
can be found in
http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/log.new/
Thanks a lot and all the best
Norbert
Here is the final ChangeLog entry for -2:
* first upload to unstable, sponsored by
Neil McGovern <maulkin at halon.org.uk>
* texdoc support
- let tetex texdoc find documentation of texlive (Closes: #364776)
- include tetex texdoc patches (following of symlinks, security
fixes) (Closes: #356390)
* texlive-lang-polish conflicts with octave-forge as both provide
/usr/bin/mex, this is preliminary, a better solution must be
sought (Closes: #364059)
* change shell for the reportbug script to bash (Closes: #356391)
* fix installation of thumbpdf and pdfcrop (Closes: #352092)
* improve various descriptions (Closes: #354964)
* call the update-* programs in all postinst scripts, so that the
config files do not contain left-overs (Closes: #355266)
* fix creation of formats which in turn depend on the latex format
(Closes: #351707)
* remap the ibycus4.map TeX/MF input file from the fonts/map location
to the fonts/source location (Closes: #354652)
* depend on the updated lmodern package, thus making the fonts
available for X (Closes: #351727)
* lots of internal changes, important ones being:
- texlive packages now do not include files which have been
packaged for Debian already (eg cm-super, lmodern, musixtex)
- most packages can be used together with teTeX
- fix several upstream bugs
- generate license information for each file from the
TeX Catalogue (ongoing work)

directory (or one only containing links!)
* Upload to unstable sponsored by Neil McGovern <maulkin at halon.org.uk>
10.05.2006 NP
* Build-Dep on tex-common not necessary as we include tpm2licenses
and fixed Tpm.pm (can go away with next version when the fixes
are in tex-common)

with tpm2licenses: libappconfig-perl, libxml-dom-perl

09.05.2006 NP
* create new package texlive-common:

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
