Hi, I'm currently reorganising the prerex source package, which provides https://www.ctan.org/pkg/prerex . This is because of the overhead of managing what are effectively three components, each independently developed (by the same upstream author) with independent versions: * the LaTeX package for generating course prerequisite charts (prerex.sty + associated documentation) * the C/readline utility for editing the charts (prerex) * the Qt5 interface for editing the charts (vprerex) All three of the above have, until now, been built from the same source package using the prerex version, with the LaTeX package lumped in with the readline utility. The sources for the two utilities are provided in tarballs under https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/prerex/doc . My hope is to reorganise this as follows: * prerex source package builds from the prerex utility's tarball and only provides the binary package "prerex" containing that utility * vprerex source package builds from vprerex's tarball and only provides the binary package "vprerex" containing that utility * texlive-pictures picks up prerex.sty + its associated documentation, and prerex/vprerex depend on it. Would you be willing to provide the prerex latex package in texlive-pictures (or some other suitable texlive-* package)? I've got vprerex forked off into its own source package and ready for upload, but before I can do that, I need to also drop the vprerex binary package from the prerex sources. And if I'm going to upload prerex, I wouldn't mind droping the LaTeX part from it while I'm at it. I've attached a patch for texlive-nonbin, which I think should do the trick.
