Package: texlive-publishers Version: 2009-7 Severity: normal So, what is the consensus on this? The last comment I saw in the thread on this bug was about that there was no need for replacement, but I fail to see how a mere _addition_ could be understood as a replacement...
It seems that upstream is not going to provide a wrapper for revtex4, that means that internally, on their production servers, they are going to keep two separate versions (and this is correct, because it is a way to keep bug-for-bug compatibility with the papers prepared for the older class). What Debian should do in this case is to simply follow this practice, IMO. This is a nuisance to have to change the preambula of my own old papers just to let them compile. This is an unnecessary change. Of course, I can install revtex4 just for myself locally, but is it a Debian way? I do not think so. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
