Hello,<br><br>because the Ubuntu debs of the XeTeX homepage have unmet<br>dependencies on Debian Sarge I downloaded the XeTeX und xdvipdfmx<br>sources for building my own debs (BTW: I had to make configure and<br>debian/rules executable). After removing hungarian and serbian
<br>hyphenation patterns all formats have been built successfully. But<br>compiling a document fails because of an undefined control sequence<br>(\do) in url.sty. I found out that the XeTeX package provides its<br>own, older
url.sty (ver 3.1) that is not used here by xelatex<br>because the newer one is found first ($TEXMFHOME is searched before<br>$TEXMFLOCAL). For some reason I can't remember I need the new<br>url.sty (ver 3.2). But even if I copy XeTeX's
url.sty in the<br>directory with the document to compile (Will Robertson's XeTeX<br>reference guide (v0.2)) I get another undefined control sequence<br>(this is still true if I copy all .sty and .tex files provided by<br>
XeTeX in this directory):<br><br>! Undefined control sequence.<br>\Gm@checkdrivers ...fined \else \ifnum \pdfoutput<br> =\@ne<br>\Gm@setdriver {pdfte...<br>l.71 \begin{document}

<br><br>(BTW: Edgy ships with TeXLive debs besides the teTeX debs. Will<br>dependencies of XeTeX be adapted for TeXLive users? IMHO it makes<br>sense because Thomas Esser doesn't make new releases of teTeX any more.)<br><br>
I built my own debs again (now on Ubuntu Edgy) but with the same<br>results (same message as above).<br><br>Best Regards,<br> Christoph<br>--<br>+++ Typografie-Regeln: <a href="http://zvisionwelt.de/downloads.html">

http://www1.pm.tokushima-u.ac.jp/~kohda/debian/xetex/</a><br><br>as far as i understand it, they are not official debian packages because they violate some kind of policy, which I think has to do with the hyphenation problem.
