(Not) Moving all stuff to TEXMFDIST
Hi Frank, hi all!
I rebuild all my texlive packages with *all* files moved to
texmf-texlive (you once mentioned that we shouldn't have files in
TEXMFMAIN).
Well, so trivial it is unfortunately not. tcfmgr is searched in
TEXMFMAIN, which will for sure break also in tetex.
In fact on second thought I don't think that we should *really* do this.
Other Debian packages can override other latex/tex packages, but they
should not be able to hide so-to-say system stuff.
For now I leave it like it is, without changing files. Later on I can
move some files to TEXMFDIST, but I don't want to check what other
implications it might have to move stuff to TEXMFDIST from TEXMFMAIN.
Best wishes
Norbert

CRAIL (n. mineral)
Crail is a common kind of rock or gravel found widely across the
British Isles. Each individual stone (due to an as yet undiscovered
gravitational property) is charged with 'negative buoyancy'. This
means that no matter how much crail you remove from the garden, more
of it will rise to the surface. Crail is much employed by the Royal
Navy for making the paperweights and ashtrays used inside submarines.
