I read a recent article on DWN where a similar issue was discussed, and I got the impression that the licences of the software involved have to be carefully mentioned. And since the examples *use* other peoples work (e.g. prosper, hevea) the licence need to be mentioned. In the first case, the licence is in the style file, in the second case not. We need a build dependency on hevea anyhow for building the manual, so maybe a recommends for the examples? (But I still need to try if it builds with the Debian version). > Hehe. I used to patch the upstream build stuff. This seems to be necessary, I am afraid, because I am unable to rebuild the HTML documentation or the man page (where, honestly speaking, only one string is repleaced). But make clean happily deletes the pre-build ones. > > I will try to care for my other bugs next week and also do the > > tryouts. > > Ok thanks.

I simply continue to check in my patches (the man page update as well as the zadvi-updates are in now). It would be great, though, if at some time at least the unproblematic ones could be integrated in an upload. (I assume you are the defacto maintainer of advi, right?).
