Please unblock TeX packages
Dear release managers,
please
unblock tex-common/1.0.1
unblock texlive-lang/2005.dfsg.2-4
Here's the changelog for tex-common:
tex-common (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* fix a bug in dh_installtex which prohibits --priority to work
correctly for command line config files. [NP]
* add myself to the list of Uploaders. [NP]
-- Norbert Preining <preining@debian.org> Mon, 26 Feb 2007 18:08:22 +0100
The patch is just moving two lines that set $priority from $dy{PRIORITY}
to a place before $priority is used the first time...
This is the changelog for texlive-lang:
texlive-lang (2005.dfsg.2-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Do not create platex formats, and do not install man page links for
platex and pdfplatex. [NP]
-- Norbert Preining <preining@debian.org> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:11:25 +0100
texlive-lang (2005.dfsg.2-3) unstable; urgency=medium
* Do no longer install /usr/bin/platex a customized polish LaTeX format,
and its manpage. The name is also used by the ptex-bin package, hence
this closes: #411969.
* Document the change in texlive-lang-polish's NEWS.Debian

Revision -3 fixes a RC bug, -4 does it in a cleaner way (I'm not very
used to the packaging of texlive in etch and sid, working on packages in
experimental, sorry).
Unfortunately, the debdiff is not as small as the changelog indicates.
The reason is that the infrastructure used to build all texlive packages
(debian/tpm2deb.cfg, debian/tpm2deb.pl, debian/CHANGES.packaging) is
included, and the changes seen in the debdiff were made for other
texlive packages that are already in etch. Since texlive-lang has not
seen an update since November, a considerable amount of changes is seen
in the debdiff.
It might be more instructive (but only if you trust our packaging...) to
look at the debdiff between the respective files in the latest
texlive-bin upload and this texlive-lang upload:
$ diff -u texlive-{bin,lang}-2005.dfsg.2/debian/tpm2deb.pl
$ diff -u texlive-{bin,lang}-2005.dfsg.2/debian/tpm2deb.cfg

[this shows that dvidvi is actually blacklisted twice in the
configuration file in the texlive-lang source package. Sorry, my fault,
but it is completely irrelevant given that dvidvi is only part of
texlive-bin]
If you feel you cannot review the debdiff, I could also apply the
necessary changes to the texlive-lang source package as currently in
etch. The problem with that is that we would not have anything in our
repository that corresponds to this upload, therefore I would prefer not
to take this option
Regards, Frank
