Re: Packaging "feynmf" LaTeX macros: some questions about new TeX policy

["Kevin B. McCarty" <kmccarty@Princeton.EDU>]

Thanks for your advice, Ralf.  I've made your suggested changes and
uploaded feynmf to the NEW queue.

(as an aside: good thing I thought to check the feynmf perl script for
tmpfile vulnerabilities before uploading.  sigh)

Here I decided to just depend upon tetex-bin for now, and I'll revisit
this issue once TeX Live is in unstable.

Should I CC Norbert specifically about this [asking him to remove feynmf
from texlive-metapost], or will he notice it on this list?
