Re: Upload of new texlive packages
Hi Florent!
Great that you took a look ...

Ok, or simple sh ..., I guess I have to check all of them for dash
compatibility though.

Ok.

;-) You cannot know this, it is to brain dead to be honest. Maybe I
change it once.
Allora: The build process puts the created files into
build/inst/bin/<arch>-<os>/
and I copy all the files to bin/i386-linux
In tpm2deb.pl I set: $Tpm::CurrentArch = "i386-linux"; so the entries
in the tpms which refers to i386-linux are taken, ie the files in
bin/i386-linux. These files are - on other archs - not really
i386-linux, but it is only to trick the tpm mechanism.
So rest assured, this has been present since some time and binaries were
created for all Debian archs.
But, as I said, this is a real bad hack.

Hmm, Build-Depend on recode in addition instead of the simple script.
Will see, why not.

I tried. But it does not work. You are invited to fix this magic header
for me:
eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 $
argv:q'
if 0;
use strict;
$^W=1; # turn warning on
#
...
It is working, so I don't consider this necessary to change. In fact I
remember that I asked about this once in debian-devel and got the
answer: Either complain to lintian that it does not accept this one, or
use a lintian override.
So I guess the only thing is the POSIX/dash compatibility and recode.
Can I put this on the list for next time, or should I rebuild packages?
Best wishes
Norbert
