Bug#263162: Please describe your tasksel policy, and re-add the tex task
Package: tasksel
Version: 2.09
Severity: normal
In version 2.00, the tex task was removed, and the changelog says:
/---------------------------
| Adopted new, stricter criteria for task additions. Removed the following
| tasks, which did not meet it: [...] tex
\---------------------------
I could not find those criteria written in any of the bug reports, or
in /usr/share/doc/tasksel. There was also no explanation why
specifically the tex task (and the science task, too) was removed.
I would be happy to cooperate with you and provide a new, better tex
task, but I need to know the criteria first.
Please note that I am on vacation until 2004-08-15. I think the other
maintainers of the teTeX packages at
debian-tetex-maint@lists.debian.org will also help you.
Regards, Frank
