Debian freeze - last chance for changes

Dear all,

Debian is going to freeze on 30 June, so if we want to get fixes
for what is currently in Debian, that is what is the current
status of the DVD, please let me know. THat is what will be
in Debian stable for the next 1+ years.

One thing that comes to my mind is the regression with respect
to polyglossia and defaultfontfeatures, see
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672742
Arthur, any progress on that?

Other than that I don't see anyhting serious for now. I might
update the updmap-setup-kanji script to actually work 

And the move of lgrxenc.dfu into the right place (email from Werner
on tex-live).

If there is anything else, please let me know.

Best wishes

Norbert

I have a small fix to CJK.sty, not worth a new release but helpful
anyways since it increases robustness.  Please decide yourself what to
do with it.

I put Danai in Cc, he is packaging CJK separately/independenly from
the rest of TeX Live.

Hi Werner

The latest GIT of CJK has entered Debian, so it will be included in the freeze.

Thanks!

P.S.: sorry for the top posting.

Re: Debian freeze - last chance for changes

Hi Norbert,

during the TL freeze I have accumulated lots of small changes in my working
copy, many of them in an attempt to minimize the TL vs W32TeX diffs.

There are, however, four such changes that might be useful for Debian.

(1) and (2): Ken Brown <kbrow1i <at> gmail.com> has noted that already moderately
long pathnames may yield buffer overruns in lacheck and dvi2tty.

(3): three ICU library files have been modified (undoing ICU SVN commit
36090 from 2009-06-11), in order to solve all/most XeTeX problems with Indic
scripts.

(4): a small change in pdftexdir/pdftosrc.cc required to build pdfTeX with
poppler >=0.18.4 (system-xpdf).  Note, however, that building pdfTeX that
way slightly reduces its capability to handle large files (see README.config
1.6 and 3.4.2).

Regards
Peter

Re: Debian freeze - last chance for changes

Hi Peter,

thanks for the information.

Can you send me these four things as separate patches, if you have them,
or as one big patch, if this is more convenient.

Hi Norbert,

you can pick up the four different changesets from
   ftp://ftpth.mppmu.mpg.de/pub/peb/TLtests/PATCHES/

Three of them also contain a small change for WIN32, but it should be easy
enough to disentangle things.

Peter

I was too busy with writing our grant proposal, therefore I had no
time for running my Devanagari tests. I will run them tonight (I have
all the files at home). I will write if anything is wrong.

Re: Error TL12 kpsewhich in ifxetex

Hi,

for fopen() the modes "rb" and "wb" are allowed on all systems, however, the
"b" is ignored on Posix systems.  It was my mistake to assume that the same
is true for popen(), where Posix allows only "r" and "w".  From previous
messages on this subject it seems, however, that several Unix
implementations do allow an additional "b".

This will be fixed after the freeze.

As far as I can tell there is no new version of
context-doc-nonfree.  The main problem with current version
is that it is not seen by texdoc.  Would be nice to have an
updated version or at least a fix

Thank you.

If you start acroread with the showcase.pdf, then you can nicely browse
the docs.

Thank you.  

Perhaps you would consider adding these to the collection,
which is a work in progress  revision of the manual.

Some development has been continuing with xdvi(k) after the TL code freeze.
You might want to consider adding those changes to the Debian version.
For the most current version, grab the copy in CVS (on sourceforge), not the
latest numbered release.

Hi all,

I've been looking at bug#567849: "lilypond: install-info: warning: no
info dir entry" with the idea of either offering a solution or
performing an NMU, but I'm a little stuck.

The difficulty is this.  The info files are set up so that
lilypond-web.info.gz contains a  <at> dircategory/ <at> dirinfo section for the
entire package, listing every info file provided.  None of the other
top-level info files have this or seemingly need it.  So what should
be done?  Should the other info files be given empty  <at> direntry
sections, or is there some way to tell update-info-dir to ignore these
files?

   Julian
