Bug#487149: texlive-doc-en: Source missing for some documentation files
Package: texlive-doc-en
Version: 2007-4
Severity: serious
This has already been reported in #345604, but not yet addressed for
TeXLive.
I promised not to create more accumulative bugs, but this is a bit
different: This bug is going to collect all issues from #345604 which
- are still open in TeXLive
- where the only problem is that the source is missing
- but the source is available elsewhere.
I suggest that it should be fixed
a) upstream by generating a tarball for these files, which is not going
to be included in the TeXLive iso, unless Upstream wants it, too
b) generating a new Debian source package from this tarball.
Since the new upstream version is just about to be released and is not
going to be included in lenny, we have to decide whether we want to fix
it by creating our own source tarball for lenny, or instead consider an
lenny-ignore tag.
Regards, Frank
