Hi,
as you ask for feedback: I may be not the typical tester, but I'm
playing a little bit with your packages as I want to use polyglossia,
which isn't contained in TeX Live 2007. I have experienced some issues
(pbuilder changeroot based on sid and your repository):
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# apt-get install texlive-xetex
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
texlive-xetex: Depends: texlive-base (>= 2008) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: texlive-binaries (>= 2008) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I had to build and install luatex manually in order to get texlive-xetex
installed:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# dpkg -i luatex_0.43.0-1_i386.deb
# apt-get -f install
# apt-get install texlive-xetex
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
My first test case is a minimal XeTeX document:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\begin{document}
This is a minimal \XeTeX document.
\end{document}
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
However, even after installation of texlive-xetex compilation of this
document (xelatex …) failed due to dependency issues, I had to install
the following packages:
- texlive-latex-base
- texlive-latex-recommended
- lmodern
I'd argue that texlive-xetex should depend on these.
Regards, Andreas
P.S. I'm eagerly awaiting TeX Live 2009 in Debian. Thanks for your
efforts, it seems to be awful lot of work.
