Hi!
please update /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/babel/magyar.ldf to the new version available from http://www.math.bme.hu/~pts/cvsget.cgi/u=magyar/p=/M=lakk/c=f1/n=/lakk/texmf/tex/generic/magyar/magyar.ldf
The proper URL is http://www.math.bme.hu/latex/ , which contains the link above. There is also a .deb package of MagyarLateX (containing magyar.ldf) which I've created to make installation to Debian systems simpler.
- the mathematicians tell me many things don't work correctly with the old one. I can ask them to elaborate if necessary.
I can confirm this. Too many packages (such as graphics, hyperref, amsart) conflicting with the old one to list here. That's why I've created the new one.
Ah, interesting. What kind of repository is this, and what is the lakk module?
The repository is my private CVS repository. The lakk module our private module which contains a lot of software and a book we've written about LaTeX. The newest version of magyar.ldf and other files of MagyarLaTeX are
publicly available from the lakk module.
teTeX is usually made from CTAN, therefore it would be best if you ask Peter Szabo to upload the file (together with magyar.dtx) to CTAN.
No, I won't upload it, because I don't have time to re-upload after each bugfix. Since it is free software, anybody can freely upload it anywhere. If you think it should be on CTAN, please upload it there.
Furthermore, he should add again the license statement that was in the earlier version.
I've added a license statement a few minutes above. Please tell me if it's OK.
I hope that this is in fact a newer version, and not a fork -- the file in our package says that Arpad Biro and Joszef Berces own copyright from work until 2004 and doesn't mention Peter Szabo, while the file at the above link says that Peter was working on it since 2003, and Joszef stopped working in 2001. This should really be cleared up -- unfortunately I don't have an e-mail address of any of them.
They are not working on it -- 1.4 appeared in 2001, and only a few minor bugfixes after that. Version 1.5 incorporates those bugfixes, any many more. I don't have their address, either.
