Bug#673273: (fwd) Re: Bug#673273: texlive-pstricks: auto-pst-pdf.sty unusable without ifplatform

[Norbert Preining <norbert@preining.info>]

Hi Karl,

here down at Debian we see the following:
	auto-pst-pdf.sty needs ifplatform.sty
But ifplatform is in collection-latexextra, and auto-pst-pdf in
pstricks.

I made a git grep seaching for ifplatform in texmf-dist/tex, and found:
	latex/asyfig/asyfig.sty
	latex/asyfig/asyprocess.sty
	latex/asypictureb/asypictureB.sty
	latex/dot2texi/dot2texi.sty
		collection-pictures
		
	latex/auto-pst-pdf-lua/auto-pst-pdf-lua.sty
		collection-luatex

	latex/auto-pst-pdf/auto-pst-pdf.sty
	latex/pdftricks2/pdftricks2.sty
	latex/pstricks/pst-platform.sty
		collection-pstricks

	latex/autopdf/autopdf.sty
	latex/hardwrap/hardwrap.sty
	latex/minted/minted.sty
	latex/minted/minted1.sty
	latex/moodle/moodle.sty
	latex/pstool/pstool.sty
	latex/svg/svg-extract.sty
	latex/svg/svg.sty
		c-latexextra
		
	latex/lwarp/lwarp.sty
		c-latexrecommended

	latex/mpgraphics/mpgraphics.sty
		c-metapost

	latex/tudscr/tudscrmanual.cls
	latex/tudscr/tudscrtutorial.sty
		c-publishers

It looks like a good idea to move ifplatform to collection-base ???
(Not -pstricks as Hilmar recommends, though)

WDYT?

Norbert
