In fact we are not using them anymore, because we wrote some scripts to
use the texcatalogue automatically for tpm files
I don't understand. Certainly using the Catalogue for anything we can
is desirable.
Furthermore, we have extended the license information in the Catalogue.
In the original Catalogue, or in a Debian variant thereof?
Please tell me how we should continue?
Seems like including all the licensing info would be best, I see no
reason not to. But you are the ones who want it and wrote the patch, so
whatever you want to do is fine with me :).
The first block is only here to define a mapping from TeX live tpm names
to Catalogue entries.
In at least some of these cases, I think it would be easy (and better)
to simply change the tpm name to match the Catalogue name. Probably
can't make it 100%, but where possible. And maybe in some cases the
Catalogue name could/should be changed.
I notice several of your special cases are just case changes. Here I
think it would be better to simply check for the $name and then
lc($name) instead of having to list them explicitly.
Anyway, the change itself seems fine to me. I guess I should check it
in and try to rebuild the tpm's first. I'll wait until we/you decide
about the "extra" info first, though.
Thanks for the careful explanations.
