If there were, the package would not be able to go into Debian main. Any package in main must allow arbitrary modification which includes removing files or sections or files. Invariant sections (as in the GFDL) are not allowed in main. > also the size of texlive-latex-extra is > reason for not wanting things as dependencies, That and there being no obvious reason why an embedded device would want these huge packages. > but is there intention > to get texlive-latex-extra into grip Why? Documentation is one of the key things to remove from Grip, it makes it hard to see why documentation tools are useful. The packages that do exist in the doc section at generally only there as incidentals. No, I won't be adding this package to Grip. It makes no sense. Someone'll ask for Ooo next. > or a way to get the package from > the debian squeeze repository ? $ sudo apt-get install emdebian-grip $ sudo apt-grip texlive-latex-extra apt-grip is in the emdebian-grip package. The package is architecture all so you can run apt-grip on any machine and install the gripped package on any grip device. I don't see the point though - the vast bulk of the package will be retained in the grip version, so you may as well just get it from Debian in the first place. If the device has enough room for textlive-latex-extra why are you looking to put Grip on it in the first place?? -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
