[tex-live] language, lang, la (was: testing TL'08)

[Norbert Preining]

Only one remark concerning the language chaos:

On Debian we got hundreds of complains about language pack contents, eg
the location of Catalan, and Basque, etc etc etc.

I always react with: Please make a decent proposal how to distribute
stuff and present it to tex-live at ..., and one guy even started, well, al
least took a look into the package contents. But then that died out, as
all the other times.

Still, it is a reasonable thing to think about, sometimes. If one here
wants to really think about it it would be *great*.

Best wishes

Norbert

CANNOCK CHASE (n.)
In any box of After Eight Mints, there is always a large number of
empty envelopes and no more that four or five actual mints. The
cannock chase is the process by which, no matter which part of the box
often, you will always extract most of the empty sachets before
pinning down an actual minot, or 'cannock'. The cannock chase also
occurs with people who put their dead matches back in the matchbox,
and then embarrass themselves at parties trying to light cigarettes
with tree quarters of an inch of charcoal. The term is also used to
describe futile attempts to pursue unscrupulous advertising agencies
who nick your ideas to sell chocolates with.
