Dear friends!
A new generation of Debian packages of TeX live are available on the tug
server, as usual see
http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html
and get it at
deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/
deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/
Note: If you had an older version of the packages installed, PLEASE
completely purge these packages before installing the new ones! THe
reason for this: The location of files have changed and some files have
been replaced by symlinks, which with a normal upgrade process gives
problems!
News:
* Fix installation of /var/cache/font etc, make it multi user able
* Link verious config files into /etc/texmf
* remove generated formats in the postrm script
* dynamically generate ChangeLog file from the ChangeLog of tpm2deb
Upcoming (with the next packages):
* Include the included packages and their title in the long description
of the control files, and generate the control files automatically.
eg:
Package: texlive-basic
...
Description: TeXLive: Essential programs and files
These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering
plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common
drivers.
.
This package includes the following CTAN packages:
bibtex -- Bibliography management for LaTeX.
cm -- Computer Modern fonts.
cmex -- The cmex package.
dvips -- A dvi to PostScript driver.
enctex -- A tex extension translating input on its way into TeX.
fontname -- Naming scheme for naming fonts in TeX.
makeindex -- Process index output to produce typesettable code.
metafont -- Macro package for TeX (the most popular).
misc -- Miscellaneous macros for TeX and MF.
plain -- The Plain TeX format.
tex-ps -- TeX to PostScript generic macros and add-ons.
Best wishes
Norbert

TWEMLOW GREEN (n.)
The colour of some of Nigel Rees's trousers, worn in the mistaken
belief that they go rather well with his sproston green (q.v.)
jackets.
