TeX Live 2013 --- until when can we work on the man pages?
Hello all, I didn't get around to working on the man pages these past 2 weeks. Now, I just saw this timing plan on the TeX Live website: http://www.tug.org/texlive/ March 27: sources committed, builds begin. April 8: tlnet (and TL'12) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates continue there. May 20: complete freeze for final build, no more updates, final doc tweaks, always more testing. Does this mean any improvements to the man pages should be in on April 8; or that you want them May 20; or has the deadline already passed and are any improvements due next year? Mojca, perhaps you know this? Cheers, Sietse

The tlnet freeze means that there won't be any updates to TeX Live 2012 from that point, i. e., existing installations of TeX Live 2012 won't get any package updates using tlmgr. The relevant date for you is 20 May. Arthur

The first import of a recent ConTeXt into TeX Live should happen around 8th April, but there will be time for updates and to fix problems after that. I believe that 20th May should be fine (but the date is not set in stone yet, so it may vary a bit depending on feedback and problems). Mojca

No hurry with that ... it's not like context users are using those pages frequently. Lets's stick with what we have not for texlive 2013 and let improvements go into versions after current.

Unless something is badly broken we'll freeze, won't we? At some point I want to go ahead, Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
