Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de> X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org I'm not fully sure about the final name of the source package. The OpenSuSE people name it texlive-context-bin, maybe I'll use a similar naming. * Package name : luametatex Version : 2.10.07 Upstream Contact: Hans Hagen <pragma@wxs.nl> * URL : https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex * License : GPL, MIT/X Programming Lang: C, CWeb, C++ Description : New generation processing Engine for ConTeXt This is a follow up on the LuaTeX project. The source is considered part of the ConTeXt distribution and managed by the ConTeXt development team and the ConTeXt user group. That way we can guarantee that the engine and this TeX macro package work together as expected. The idea is that users can easily compile the source themselves and that way have a guaranteed long term (minimal) TeX based installation. Because the management scripts are in Lua, only one binary is needed to serve the ConTeXt distribution. In the source code we try to stay close to the ancestors, LuaTeX, pdfTeX, eTeX and TeX, but in the meantime due to additions there is quite some diverge. There are new primitives and submechanisms, there is more control over the inner workings, font handling is mostly delegated to Lua and there is no built-in backend. The code base is all-inclusive and has no (nor will have) dependencies on external libraries. - The TeX engine in this package will be (probably) the default processing engine of ConTeXt. The upcoming 2023 release of Context will hence depend on it. - I'm a member of the Debian TeX Task force, I'll maintain the package as a member of the team. As I'm not a DD, I'd a sponsor for the initial upload. -- sigmentation fault
