Hi all!
1. The file c-cmr.mf from sauter in texlive differs from the file on
ctan:
$ rsync rsync://tug.org/tldevsrc/Master/texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/sauter/c-cmr.mf
-rw-rw-r-- 15006 2006/01/10 02:38:21 c-cmr.mf
$ grep /c-cmr.mf$ FILES.byname
2004/02/28 | 14863 | fonts/cm/sauter/base/c-cmr.mf
All other files in sauter are the same. Is it ok?
2. IMHO the time shown during installation is counter-intuitive.
Here is the example:
Installing [1/6, time/total: ??:??/??:??]: collection-wintools [1k]
Installing [2/6, time/total: 00:00/00:00]: dviout.win32 [1824k]
Installing [3/6, time/total: 01:40/01:51]: tlgs.win32 [10460k]
Installing [4/6, time/total: 00:23/01:10]: tlperl.win32 [2925k]
Installing [5/6, time/total: 00:13/01:18]: tlpsv.win32 [1877k]
Installing [6/6, time/total: 00:05/01:17]: wintools.win32 [1327k]
I couldn't figure out what this time mean until I looked it in the
source. Wow, that's remaining time, not elapsed time! IMHO it's better
to show elapsed time though it's a matter of taste I guess. If
remaining time is shown then maybe to write somewhere about it, just
"time" suggests (at least to me) somethiing else. Finally, note that
before time the number of done packages is shown and not the number of
remaining packages. Somewhat contradicting.
3. In the package texlive-scripts.win32 there is a script
bin/win32/symlinks4cygwin.sh . Isn't it supposed to be in a cygwin
package instead of win32 one?
4. There seems to be a typo in tlmgrgui.pl.
