Re: Bug#669113: marked as done (pdfjam: pkg instalation what to remove texmacs, texlive-full, ...)



Dear Tex maintainers,

I appreciate your work but seriosly, the activities around pdfjam
integration do not deserve much credit.

What I mean? It would be really nice (actually: polite) to discuss with
the maintainer of an external package BEFORE absorbing his baby and
before declaring it obsolete.

It's not like I have strong objections... feel free to continue on that.
But do that correctly!

 - document its inclusion in your changelog
 - document the original source in your copyright
 - send a formal removal request, you can declare it RoM (confirmed by maintainer)

Regards,
Eduard.
