Bug#546767: texlive-science: Consider including siunitx
Package: texlive-science
Version: 2007.dfsg.17-2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Please consider adding siunitx, available at
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/siunitx/.
Below a snippet of its description from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/siunitx.html
"The siunitx package takes the best from the existing packages, and adds
new features and a consistent interface. A number of new ideas have been
incorporated, to fill gaps in the existing provision. The package also
provides backward-compatibility with SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef and
units. The aim is to have one package to handle all of the possible
unit-related needs of LaTeX users."
Thanks,
Fabrizio
-- Package-specific info:
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
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
