Dear Fink folks, Yesterday saw a major new release of teTeX, and there are new Fink packages for this release in the unstable tree. Users should be aware that upgrading to these new packages will require the download of 80 MB of source files, and substantial compiling time.
If you are upgrading from a previous teTeX installation on Fink, you will most likely need to reinstall one of the packages in the middle of the upgrade. There is a warning message which tells you what to do, when this is necessary. If you wish to use teTeX with X11 disabled, you should install the new "tetex-nox" package. If you just try to install this directly, though, you'll be forced to install X11 while some of the component pieces are being built. To get around this problem, you can download the two files http://www.cgtp.duke.edu/~drm/software/tetex-dev_2.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb http://www.cgtp.duke.edu/~drm/software/tetex-shlibs_2.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb and install them by issuing the commands sudo dpkg -i /path/to/tetex-dev_2.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb sudo dpkg -i /path/to/tetex-shlibs_2.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb Once this has been done, "tetex-nox" can be built and installed without installing X11. The previous "bundle-tetex" package has been replaced by a new "tetex" package, and many of the old pieces (tetex-macosx, context, pdftex, etc.) are now contained directly in tetex-base. Note to users of xdvi: teTeX now contains a version of xdvi, so there is no need to install a separate package. However, this is a different version than the one which has been available in Fink recently, and I would appreciate knowing if there is any demand for the "original" version as an alternative. I would appreciate feedback on these new packages. I'd like to be able to move them to the stable tree as soon as possible, so that binaries can be released (which will make installation much easier for all). -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
