Hi Hans!
I am packaging up the latest context release for Debian, and have some questions before releasing it: - luatools and mtxtools is missing from scripts/context/unix/stubs, is this by intention or by error?
the problem is that some want stubs, some want symlinks ... if you like stubs more (my preference btw), then send me the ones as you like them and i will include them
- the debian packages ship additional stubs for: pdftrimwhite texfind texshow which are missing in the above dir, should/could/would you add them?
no real reason, texfind/texshow depend on tk as well, and pdftrimwhite is for karl (uses it for tugboat) and he know how to call it
- besides an additional Recommends: luatex do you think that other changes to packaging is necessary? (Not that you have to know the internals, this is only a question about some major incompatibilities I didn't find on the Wiki...)
if texlua and texluac are available then no lua is needed; mkiv needs lm opentype and texgyre opentype (used as defaults) so maybe make sure that texgyre is installed the biggest thing is the cache dir but the defaults should ok; if luatools --verbose --generate luatools --verbose --make --compile cont-en works ok, then things should be ok; btw, luatools --make --compile plain should also work and gives a plain that can read from zip files and such (later i will add open type font support)
- does it make sense to package it now or wait for some more iterations?
well, we need to start sometime i guess and since your work is the base for texlive best get things sorted out asap thanks, 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
