Hi all, Even if it is decided not to create tetex-* dummy packages, maybe the following will still be useful in some way: I wrote a script that automatically does what I spent a long time doing by hand last night, that is, determining which TeXLive package ships each of the files in the tetex-* packages. The script is here: http://people.debian.org/~kmccarty/tetex-to-texlive-mapping/tetex-to-texlive.sh and its output (one report per teTeX package) here: http://people.debian.org/~kmccarty/tetex-to-texlive-mapping/ For each file, the report includes the TeXLive package containing it, and flags indicating whether the file contents or the file path differ (modulo s/texmf-tetex/texmf-texlive/) between teTeX and TexLive. Files that were not found in any TeXLive package are also reported. Only regular files are considered; symlinks and directories are ignored. See the explanatory remarks at the top of each report for more details. There are a few false positives: files in tetex-* that are not in texlive-* which the script nevertheless "found" in some other package. This is usually because said file has a common name, e.g. /usr/share/texmf-tetex/aliases was "found" in /etc/modutils/aliases. These are pretty obvious, though. I skipped files in teTeX packages that either have the string README in their names or are located in /usr/share/doc, since a mapping would be too difficult in the first case (the script relies on the assumption that TeX files generally have a unique name within a TeX installation) and unlikely to be useful in the second case. Hence there was no point in running a report on tetex-doc. The tetex-src report is probably also not very useful since there is no equivalent TeXLive package (I guess TeXLive source is available only with "apt-get source texlive-bin" or equivalent?) best regards, -- Kevin B.
