I have a somewhat longer list of exes that I believe can be weeded out:
dvipdfmx
Is that still needed ? I always run xdvipdfmx instead
we should ask Chof/Jonathan abou tmerging them; last time i asked Jonathan he told me that he was not sure if i was downwad compatible
dvips
Dvips needs a bunch of postscript header (.pro) files, that are not in the distro right now, I think. When I tried to run it just now, it was complaining about missing stuff.
so we can go pdf and use pdftops if someone wants proper postscript
I thought Jonathan had that planned for 0.997.
For pdftex: we had a discussion about the pool file once already, and I am not in the mood to repeat it.
well, i'm sure that martin can integrate it into the build; would save a lot of hassle with binary updates (no problem for tex live since the polish dropped their translated pool files long ago) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
