--- Begin Message ---Package: tetex-src Version: 1.0.2+20011202-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch mdwtab.dtx uses in its documentation part the macro pairs \<,\>, \[,\] and \(,\) as synonyms for the `rep' and `stack' environments of syntax.sty. But these macros -- which seem to have been part of an earlier version of mdwtools.tex -- are not defined anymore or got conflicting definitions. In the patch, the shortcut macros are replaced with the corresponding environments. I have compared the resulting DVI file with tetex.doc's mdwtab.dvi.gz to make sure that the syntax diagrams stayed the same. This was a pure documentation bug: mdwtab.sty has not changed. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux daedalus 2.2.20 #1 Sat Apr 20 11:45:28 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro --- /usr/share/texmf/source/latex/mdwtools/mdwtab.dtx Mon Jun 8 21:01:00 1998 +++ mdwtab.dtx Sun Feb 15 12:30:16 2004 @@ -281,24 +281,24 @@ % "{tabular}" \\ "{tabular*}" "{" <length> "}" \\ % "{array}" \\ "{smarray}" % \end{stack} -% \[ "[" <position-arg> "]" \] +% \begin{stack}\\ "[" <position-arg> "]" \end{stack} % "{" <preamble> "}" <text> % "\\end" -% \( "{tabular}" \\ "{tabular*}" \\ "{array}" \\ "{smarray}" \) +% \begin{stack} "{tabular}" \\ "{tabular*}" \\ "{array}" \\ "{smarray}" \end{stack} % \]] % % <position-arg> ::= (see below) % % <preamble> ::= \[[ % <first-column> -% \[ \< <column> \> \] +% \begin{stack}\\ \begin{rep} <column> \end{rep} \end{stack} % \]] % -% <first-column> ::= \[[ \[ <rule> \] <column> \]] +% <first-column> ::= \[[ \begin{stack}\\ <rule> \end{stack} <column> \]] % % <column> ::= \[[ -% \[ <spacing> \] \[ \< <user-pre-text> \> \] <column-type> -% \[ \< <user-post-text> \> \] \[ <spacing> \] \[ <rule> \] +% \begin{stack}\\ <spacing> \end{stack} \begin{stack}\\ \begin{rep} <user-pre-text> \end{rep} \end{stack} <column-type> +% \begin{stack}\\ \begin{rep} <user-post-text> \end{rep} \end{stack} \begin{stack}\\ <spacing> \end{stack} \begin{stack}\\ <rule> \end{stack} % \]] % % <spacing> ::= \[[ "@" "{" <text> "}" \]] @@ -307,15 +307,15 @@ % % <column-type> ::= \[[ % \begin{stack} -% \[ "T" \\ "M" \] \( "l" \\ "c" \\ "r" \) \\ -% \( "p" \\ "m" \\ "b" \) "{" <length> "}" \\ +% \begin{stack}\\ "T" \\ "M" \end{stack} \begin{stack} "l" \\ "c" \\ "r" \end{stack} \\ +% \begin{stack} "p" \\ "m" \\ "b" \end{stack} "{" <length> "}" \\ % "#" "{" <raw-pre-text> "}" "{" <raw-post-text> "}" % \end{stack} % \]] % % <user-post-text> ::= \[[ "<" "{" <text> "}" \]] % -% <rule> ::= \[[ \( "|" \\ "!"

--- Begin Message ---Dear bug submitter, the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of the respective package. TeX Live only collects what authors provide. Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team can fix anything regarding this bug. Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old. We suggest you to do the following: * verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013) installation on Debian * if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts, your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange website http://tex.stackexchange.com Thanks a lot for your understanding Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
