Another mass bug filing, or rather a reminder in advance: Conffiles
Hi,
many packages ship TeX input files in /etc/texmf, which is a bug
according to the TeX Policy. Here's a way to get a grip on it with the
findpkg script:
$ findpkg -b etc/texmf | egrep -v '.*\.d|unstable' | sed -e 's@.*[[:space:]]@@' | sort -u
non-free/tex/ptex-jtex
tex/arabtex
tex/cjk-latex
tex/dvi2dvi
tex/dvi2ps
tex/dvi2ps-fontdata-three
tex/dvi2ps-fontdesc-morisawa5
tex/dvipdfmx
tex/dvipsk-ja
tex/hlatex-fonts-base
tex/hlatex-fonts-extra
tex/jadetex
tex/jtex-base
tex/latex-svninfo
tex/multex-base
tex/ptex-jisfonts
tex/scalable-cyrfonts-tex
tex/tetex-bin
tex/texpower
tex/thailatex
text/itrans
tex/vfdata-morisawa5
utils/freetype1-tools
There may be, of course, false positives and unclear cases
(e.g. tetex-bin's xdvi.cfg could be moved to TEXMFDIST if we set
XDVIINPUTS in texmf.cnf). Especially unclear to me are the files of the
dvi2... packages in /etc/texmf/dvi2{dvi,ps}, they have no extensions.
Regards, Frank
