[Pkg-octave-devel] /usr/bin/mex and texlive

[Thomas Weber <thomas.weber.mail@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

there's a discussion on debian-release regarding tetex and texlive. 

The package texlive-lang-polish has an (outdated) conflict against
octave-forge, because it ships with a /usr/bin/mex file (a symlink to
pdfetex). 

The current octave2.1-forge package has /usr/bin/mex2.1, octave2.9-forge
hasn't any mex-binaries in /usr/bin/; the current octave-forge CVS is a
little bit chaotic due to the move to packages, but it seems that the
mex/ directory is gone for good.

So I guess it boils down to wether we are okay with handing /usr/bin/mex
to another package?
