So this means we could actually kill the collection-pdfetex and move the packages to the respecitve places (partly latex-recommended, partly latex-extra).
This is IMHO a good move if we all agree on this.
Concerning context: I am still hoping that someone is packaing context independently from tetex and texlive, so that one package can be used
which means that tetex/texlive will become mainly a latex installation?
for both texlive and tetex IN DEBIAN. (hints hints hints for the lurkers on these list, one of you want to take over this job!?!? ;-)
it depends what packaging is; on the context list are some users who made/discuss an rpm; i myself provide so called minimal context installations i always understood that tex live could/did handle such things; for context users need (1) the base collection of fonts and (2) the content of the main context zip; in the so called minimals i use a different set of font metrics so that would mean that with regards to fonts only type1 and ttf is needed, but that's another story ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
