Re: The Splitting of teTeX



Nice one Christoph!  Haven't looked in detail yet, though.
(And once potato is released, it would be really good to rename
tetex-lib according to policy at libkpathsea3.)

Just one point:

I don't think it's worth the effort.  The -src package only exists to
satisfy the requirements of some licenses, and if we have newer LaTeX
packages, we would have the LaTeX sources in the source package
there.  It's a shame that there are no "source only" packages!  If
people want source packages, they can use "apt-get source ...".
