please proof-reading templates
Hi all,
as we got #183970, we need to modify update-* scheme
and I tested locally. Basically, my design is;
- ask a user if one uses update-* scheme or not and
- if an answer is yes then do as before but generated
files would be in /var/lib/texmf/web2c and no symlink
of /etc/texmf/*
- if an answer is no, then create symlink of /etc/texmf/*
to /var/lib/texmf/web2c/* and never run update-* scripts.
So I wrote templates to ask a user if one uses update-*
or no and want someone will check it and refine it.
Complete rewriting is okay and I could put test packages
somewhere in my homepage soon, I hope.
Template: tetex-bin/texmf
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Use automatic generation of texmf.cnf with update-texmf?
Now we can generate texmf.cnf, the central configuration file for TeX system,
automatically with update-texmf script. This is necessary for other TeX
related packages to update the contents of texmf.cnf
.
But this overwrites the existing texmf.cnf so if you don't want it, don't
accept this. Then you should modify /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf manually.
But REMARK that you could fail to install some TeX components afterwards.
.
For many users, it is recommended to accept this, despite the default was
set contrary, because this is necessary to install many other TeX related
packages and, if you want, you can custmize texmf.cnf freely only with
modifying files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/ and adding necessary file(s) there.
Template: tetex-bin/fmtutil
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Use automatic generation of fmtutil.cnf with update-fmtutil?
Now we can generate fmtutil.cnf, the central configuration file for TeX
engines, automatically with update-fmtutil script. So this is necessary
for other TeX related packages to update the contents of fmtutil.cnf
.
But this overwrites the existing fmtutil.cnf so if you don't want it, don't
accept this. Then you should modify freely /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf manually.
But REMARK that you could fail to install some TeX components afterwards.
.
For many users, it is recommended to accept this, despite the default was
set contrary, because this is necessary to install many other TeX related
packages and, if you want, you can custmize fmtutil.cnf freely only with
modifying files in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ and adding necessary file(s) there.
Template: tetex-bin/upd_map
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Use automatic generation of updmap.cfg with update-updmap?
Now we can generate updmap.cfg, the central configuration file for fonts
system of TeX, automatically with update-updmap script. This is necessary
for fonts packages of TeX to update the contents of updmap.cfg
.
But this overwrites the existing updmap.cfg so if you don't want it, don't
accept this. Then you should modify /etc/texmf/updmap.cfg manually.
But REMARK that you could fail to use some TeX components afterwards.
