Dear release team! In response to one bug report I got tonight about a bug introduced in -6 texdoctk (missing perl declaration), and an upstream fix for another bug in xdvi, I have uploaded texlive-bin 2005.dfsg.2-7 just now.
IN addition to the changes from -6 as mentioned below, the -7 fixes three things which would make sense to be included in etch: * change shebang for getnonfreefonts to /bin/bash (Closes: #398112) * fix the texdoctk perl errors (Closes: #402651) * include xdvi upstream fix for segfault on hitting g with -nogrey (Closes: #369569) The first one only changes /bin/sh to /bin/bash as the script needs bash. The second one includes the fixes to texdoctk which also went into tetex-bin -27, and are simple: Missing declaration of variables (this is why the script broke as given in the bug report) # system variables -my ($texmfmain,$texmfdist,$texmfdoc,$texmflocal,$texmfhome, - $texdocpath,$distdocpath,$docdocpath,$localdocpath,$homedocpath, +my ($texmfmain,$texmfdist_tetex,$texmfdist_texlive,$texmfdoc,$texmflocal,$texmfhome, + $texdocpath,$distdocpath_tetex,$distdocpath_texlive,$docdocpath,$localdocpath,$homedocpath, And the necessary definitions of the variables, this was included in tetex-bin -27. # $texmfdist=`kpsewhich --expand-path=${qq}\$TEXMFDIST${qq}`; # chomp $texmfdist; + $texmfdist_tetex="/usr/share/texmf-tetex"; + $texmfdist_texlive="/usr/share/texmf-texlive"; $distdocpath_tetex=join('/',"$texmfdist_tetex",basename($texdocpath,"")) if (length $texmfdist_tetex); The last one fixes and old error, and we got today the upstream fix which, too, is quite trivial: >>Comment By: Stefan Ulrich (stefanulrich) > Date: 2006-12-11 23:55 > > Message: > Logged In: YES > user_id=177175 > Originator: NO > > Thanks for the bug report; I could reproduce the problem, and the > following > diff should fix it: > > > --- dvi-draw.c 17 Apr 2005 20:49:27 -0000 1.213.2.53 > +++ dvi-draw.c 11 Dec 2006 22:53:35 -0000 > @@ -1255,6 +1255,9 @@ > do_color_change(); > } > #endif > + if (pixeltbl == NULL) { > + do_color_change(); > + } > > /* TODO: rounding errors causing color fringing (see HACK comment > below): I tested both fixes, now texdoctk works, xdvi still works and the segfault mentioned in the bug report is gone. Furthermore I have nothing to add to what Frank said. Thanks a lot for consideration.
