Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2b-6
Severity: minor

Tetex-base is a 14 MB package that changes weekly.
It's an annoyance to download, and (on my system) it accounts
for about 20% of the time I spend on apt-get dist-upgrade.

I notice that many of the bugs are associated with the .sty
files and the tex/latex parts of the package, but that most
of the size is related to the font definitions.
Perhaps it'd be better to split it into
tetex-base-fonts and tetex-base-tex ?

(Or perhaps there is a better split...)


-- Package-specific info:
Please read and follow the instructions in the first lines below
the text: "-- Package-specific info:".
Thank you.

Press ENTER to continue
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

Hi,

splitting of teTeX will not happen, since it's dead upstream and will be
dropped from Debian as soon as etch is released.

However, TeXlive is already available in sarge and has much smaller
binary packages and a more sophisticated splitting.  Therefore I'm
closing these two bugs
