Coordinating to let some TeX-related packages in: tetex-bin
Dear release team,
we have a couple of TeX-related packages waiting and would like to ask
you to give permission for testing migration once they are old enough.
We'll notify you again when each of them has had it's time in sid, but
we'd like to know right now whether you are willing to allow them in, so
that we can make any further changes or reverts if you ask so.
This e-mail is about the arch: any package tetex-bin, I've sent separate
mails for the other tetex packages.
tetex-bin is 3 days old now, the changes since -24 which is in testing
mainly concern documentation:
,----
| tetex-bin (3.0-27) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * Apply patch by Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org> to prevent mktexlsr from
| creating ls-R in root's home directory (closes: #294197)
| * Add a missing hunk for the patch in the last upload, this should
| really make texdoctk work
|

|
| tetex-bin (3.0-26) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * Hardcode the two possible TEXMFDIST paths in texdoctk. This makes it
| work again if tetex-doc and one texlive-doc-* package are installed at
| the same time. Thanks to Braun Gabor <braung@renyi.hu> for reporting
| and Ralf Stubner <ralf.stubner@web.de> for ideas for fixing this
| (closes: #400058)

|
| tetex-bin (3.0-25) unstable; urgency=low
|
| * Simplify README.Debian, it now just points to tex-common's "TeX on
| Debian" document, and is no longer registered with doc-base.

`----
Again from bottom to top, -25 only changes documentation things.
texdoctk is a GUI to access TeX documentation, which was found not to
work if documentation packages from tetex and texlive are installed in
parallel. Fixes for this are in -26 (incomplete) and -27. In addition,
-27 has one real code change (in a shell script invoked by users and
maintainer scripts) which closes a nasty old bug, #294197. I'm
confident that it won't break anything, but I understand that you might
not like such things to be sneaked in, and frankly we simply forgot to
apply the patch long ago - hence the question whether we should revert
anything?
Regards, Frank
