Dear release team, the Debian TeX Task Force would be grateful if you could unblock texlive-extra/2005.dfsg.3-1 which I uploaded today to fix a release critical bug. The package contained some DFSG nonfree stuff which has been removed. Please note that this is a NEW unblock request, different from the one two days ago, as we had to fix a DFSG unfreeness. The changelog for 2005.dfsg.3-1 is: texlive-extra (2005.dfsg.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium * blacklist siam.tpm and build new upstream, as the siam macros are not DFSG free (no selling clause) (Closes: #406426) -- Norbert Preining <preining@debian.org> Fri, 12 Jan 2007 19:08:37 +0100 The debdiff from -4 only shows the removal of several TeX input files which is intended, ie the removal of all SIAM related stuff. The intermediate release (ie the one between this one and the one in currently in etch) has been in Debian for 13 days. This former upload fixed one important, two normal and one wishlist bug - the changes are small and non-disruptive. Without it, etch would still be a great Debian release, but with it, its texlive part would be even better. Here's the changelog: texlive-extra (2005.dfsg.2-4) unstable; urgency=low * downgrade the relation from fonts-extra to cm-super from depends to suggests. Default would be recommends, but a suggests is enough. (Closes: #399064) * add the missing dstroke.map, and add the addMap action to the config file (Closes: #400780) * activate ugq.map (Closes: #374351) * remap infix-RPN.tex and .sty from the doc hieracy to texmf-texlive (Closes: #402987) (closes Ubuntu bug #69690) Comments: - software included in texlive upstream which exists as a separate Debian package usually gets a Recommends or Suggests, cm-super was an exception for "historical reasons" (iow it was forgotten). - adding and activating font map files means that it's not only possible to run latex on a file using those fonts, but to actually create a PS or PDF file - so this only adds functionality without a possibility to break anything. - "remap" is maybe a bit too technical, here it just means means "move the files". Where they belong.
