[tex-live] pdfx has been incorrectly packaged in the texlive-pretest

[Ross Moore]

Hi Karl, and others,

I’ve just noticed that the  pdfx  package is incorrect, within the TeX Live pretest,
from ~12 May.

Some files that need to be under     …./tex/latex/pdfx/
have been incorrectly placed into    …./doc/latex/pdfx/

Since the doc/ branch is not normally searched, this means that
some files needed for features described in the documentation
will not be found for LaTeX jobs.

The incorrectly placed files are:

SCI:OTC ross$ ls -l /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/doc/latex/pdfx/

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    15733 Feb  6 10:40 AdobeColorProfiles.tex
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    24028 Feb  6 10:40 AdobeExternalProfiles.tex
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     2100 Feb  6 10:40 ICC_LICENSE.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     4580 May 12 07:27 armglyphs.dfu

Note that  ICC_LICENSE.txt  is a licence message for the ICC Color Profiles
  coated_FOGRA39L_argl.icc  and  sRGB_IEC61966-2-1_black_scaled.icc
This licence text should accompany the profiles, within  ../tex/latex/pdfx/ .



Note that MikTeX has propagated the error and in fact made it much worse,
by omitting even more files from the distribution, retaining only the
 .sty  and .def  files in  …./tex/latex/pdfx/  and removing all the sources
of the documentation. Now *no* LaTeX job is capable of producing
a validating PDF/A or PDF/X.

I was only alerted to these errors by a user in Germany reporting failure
when typesetting of his thesis, to meet the PDF/A requirement for
submission to his university library. He was using  LyX/MikTeX .
The only way to get his job working properly was to download and install
directly from CTAN.


Please rectify this situation.

Ross
