Please CC me, as I'm not subscribed to tetex-maint.
During a discussion on de.comp.text.tex, it was discovered that the
Debian packages of teTeX don't honour TEXDOCEXT like a plain
installation of teTeX does. Is this intentional?
The problem (if it is one) boils down to these three lines in
/usr/bin/texdoc:
#listext=`kpsewhich --expand-brace='$TEXDOCEXT'`
#: ${listext=':.gz'}
listext='.dvi.gz:.pdf.gz:.ps.gz:.txt.gz:.dvi:.pdf:.ps:.txt:.html:""'
I would propose something like
listext=`kpsewhich --expand-brace='$TEXDOCEXT'`
[ "x$listext" = x ] && \
listext='.dvi.gz:.pdf.gz:.ps.gz:.txt.gz:.dvi:.pdf:.ps:.txt:.html:'
Vanilla teTeX2 seems to use (according to a another contributor on the
newsgroup):
listext="`kpsewhich --expand-brace='$TEXDOCEXT' 2>/dev/null`"
test -z "$listext" && listext=":"
Is there a specific reason why the Debian packages do this differently?
(No bug has been filed yet, as I'd like to know the opinion of the list
first.)
