Hi Taco, hi all,
I am trying to activate the latex based fromats of luatex in the Debian packages, but stumbled over problematic hyphenation patterns. Currently, luatex dies on tex/generic/ukrhyph/ukrhypmp.tex as shipped with TL2007, it contains Ukrainian hyphenation patterns in LCY (cp866nav) encoding.
I guess that one cannot do anything here but wait for TL2008 with the new utf8 patterns to hit Debian. Right?
No patterns work for LuaTeX in TL 2008, at least not properly (except for maybe English, Italian, Welsh, ...). If you want to solve that, you need to include the hyph-utf8 package. If you only want to solve the issue for Ukrainian - include the package & only change a single line in language.dat. But you can patch like that forever ... Mojca
