<div class="gmail_quote">Norbert,<br>I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I do appreciate the great job you and all the group carry out.<br>I thought ---perhaps naïvely--- that the distribution of the new TeX Live packages to the Ubuntu repositories wasn't too difficult. I don't know Perl, for I speak Python. If I can help somehow with the project, please let me know.<br>
<br>Having said that, I should add I have read in several fora many complaints regarding the issue I have pointed to. It's *surprising*, then ---if "preposterous" was a bad choice--- that Ubuntu is lagged behind two releases. <br>

<div id=":192" class="ii gt">Why? Because we don't have enough volunteers here on the Debian side,<br>
since I am programming most things for TeX Live itself and for<br>
the Debian packages, and the Ubuntu packages are nothing but the<br>
Debian ones.<br>
<br>
So if you know someone with time, energy, perl knowledge, and willing<br>
to contribute on a volunteer basis (like *ALL* of us!!!), then please<br>
tell him to join us.<br>
<br>
I would not say *anything* here is "preposterous" here but your remark.<br>
