I've been a debian woody user for a long time, now, and the conclusion I eventually came to was this: * debian's strict adherence to directory structure conventions has made the tetex package difficult to maintain, since it's split into many parts, spread all over the filesystem. (This is really just an inference of mine.) * context has never worked for me in debian, and submitting a bug report looks hopeless, given the long length of the bug list. I haven't checked in a long time, though. * I wasn't able to use the "equivs" package to get the debian packaging system to accept my own tetex installation, so I could not install, e.g., the docbook-xsl-st package. * finally, I settled on this: install the debian tetex packages but don't use them directly. Also install teTeX from source in /opt, and set my PATH so that when I say texexec I get the real tetex and not debian's broken tetex. Luckily, the price of disk space continues to drop. ;) -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/
