Great! I'm tweaking tetex-bin too, so if you like some of my hacks, I
can help you (not finished yet, so I think you should upload your
package anyway)
What I was trying are:
o Move to 20001218 beta
o Move to debhelper v3
joeyh recommended this.
o Patch-And-Tarball structure
Like libc6 package, source package contains only pristine source
tarball and patches, not unpacked sources. I mean:
$ ls tetex-bin-1.0.7+20001218
debian/
prep.sh
teTeX-src-beta-20001218.tar.gz
version
and prep.sh(called from debian/rules) would take care of unpacking
tarball, applying patchs, etc.
I think, by this re-organization, updating package will be more easier
for maintainers. Also this will make our changes in Debian package
more obvious.
o Added Japanese support to xdvi and dvips
I'll talk about it in a separate mail.
BTW it was too tough for me to divide tetex-bin, but I really think we
should do(it's too big!). At least we should separate xdvi(depends on
X) and dvips(magicfilter etc. wants only this, a wishlist bug already
filed) from tetex-bin.
Best regards,
MH
