Hello,
I took the list of binaries from texmf-macosx/bin. I'm trying to set some semi-automatic process to fetch them (well, to add them to a repository on the garden, http://minimals.contextgarden.net/). I've split the binaries into different groups. Can anyone please comment on it?
a.) do we still need any of these? afm2pl afm2tfm dvipdfmx mktexmf
^ probably not, not sure what it does
mmafm mmpfb
^ multiple master fonts are obsolete
pfb2pfa
^ can go away
pltotf tftopl
knuthian progies so let's keep them (debugging)
ttf2afm
maybe keep it for a while (debugging
ttf2tfm
does not really work i think
vftovp vptovf
knuthian progs so: mktexmf, ttf2tfm and pfb2pfa can go away
b.) stubs (Hans: should I simply copy everything from stubs there?) concheck ctxtools exaclient exampleg examplex exaresolve exaserver exatools
exastuff can go away (one can alway suse texmfstart scriptname)
imgtopdf
i need the minimals myself, so keep that one for a while
makempy mptopdf pdftools pstopdf rlxtools rscortool rsfiltool rslibtool texexec texfont texshow textools texutil tmftools xmltools
okay
c.) simply copy from cont-tmf texmfstart luatools mtxrun
indeed, beware, we need these copied in the bin path !
d.) to be taken from texlive bibtex dvipos dvips
sure
dvitodvi
used?
kpseaccess
used?
kpsestat
used?
kpsewhich mktexlsr pdftosrc
also pdfinfo, pdftops, pdfimages ... everything from xpdf
e.) latest binaries to be taken from elsewhere, whenever possible (help might be needed) dvitomp makempx mpost mpto
gforce, taco can tell, we may put them on the luatex site as well
pdftex
luatex texlua (same as luatex, I guess, or simply a symbolic link?) texluac (same as luatex, I guess)
indeed, copies but needed
xdvipdfmx xetex
+ pdftex.pool and xetex.pool
for the moment yes, taco ... shouldn't we move pools files into the bins?
f.) what to do with this one? xpdfsuite.zip
we need a texmf/license path 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
