TEXLIVE 2011 PACKAGING: help with texlive-bin wanted
Hi everyone,
ok, I have started to bite the bullet and package the beast.
Here is the first call for HELP!!!!!
I have made a preliminary source package for texlive-bin that DOES NOT BUILD.
It is in principle about where make install puts files and where
dh_install moves them. It is *REALLY*SIMPLE* Debian packaging, it
only needs time to test it.
So please, if all those crying for "WE WANT TL2011" are ready to *HELP*,
here isthe first step: Get the package via
dget http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/tl2011/texlive-bin_2011.20120202-0.1.dsc
and make it build so that we end up with 5 package:
texlive-binaries
libkpathsea6
libkpathsea-dev
libptexenc1
libptexenc-dev
A bit of knowledge about shared libs etc would be nice.
I have a rules file that does the necessary configure make make install
thingy, one has only to care for the Debian packaging.
So, here we go, is there anyone out there?
Best wishes
Norbert
