Package: texlive-all
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
since bug fixes and new hacks for tex4ht are released exclusively via the
TeXLive repository the tex4ht-common package ist massivly outdated, as it is
built from a source that is marked „obsolete“. This affects widely used
classes as the KOMA script bundle.
Because of this I personally think it would be great to have integrated tex4ht
in the Debian TeXLive distribution.
Quote from the official homepage (https://www.tug.org/tex4ht/):
“In TeX Live, we have installed updates to some .4ht files. Other development
changes remain solely in the source repository.”
