Bug#686719: unblock: texlive-bin/2012.20120628-3
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package texlive-bin
Dear release managers,
I have another unblock request, this time for
texlive-bin 2012.20120628-3
which fixes exactely one small thing:
The cweave program has a fixed length array for identifier names.
Up to -2 this was set to 1000 as maximal length.
But DE Knuth's original sources do have this maximal length set
to 10000 since quite some time. The consequence is, that even
some of the programs from DEK's page cannot be c-weaved anymore.
The discussion came up on the TeX Live mailing list, here is a link
to the start of the thread:
http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-September/032325.html
The changes in the package only concern the cweave program and consists
of the following simple patch:
--- texlive-bin-2012.20120628.orig/texk/web2c/cwebdir/cweave.w
+++ texlive-bin-2012.20120628/texk/web2c/cwebdir/cweave.w

@d long_buf_size (buf_size+longest_name)
@d line_length 80 /* lines of \TEX/ output have at most this many characters;

which increases the longest allowed identifier to 10000 chars.
This patch has also been included in the upstream TeX Live sources.
I attach the full debdiff, that includes the other changes to
debian/changelog, debian/quilt/series, and the patch itself.
Thanks for your consideration
Norbert
