RE: comments on texmf package?

2002-01-17 Thread Billinghurst, David (CRTS)

The trivial test case works for me. With tetex-beta-20001218-3 and
texmf-2804-2 I can  
  cp /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/small2e.tex .
  latex small2e.tex
  dvips small2e.dvi -o small2e.ps
  pdflatex small2e.tex

The generated files looked OK.

Hi,

Probably I'm too impatient, but I've been waiting so long for a full
tex setup in Cygwin...  Who will be looking at the new texmf packages?

Greetings,

Yes, I believe so.

Yes it seems that way.  In this case that's maybe a bit odd, because
tetex-beta-20001218-1 has a number of problems.

Ok, so maybe adding some test: tags would not hurt.  In any case,
tetex-beta-20001218-3 and texmf-*' tags should be (kept) in sync.

I'm not at all familar with tex so I'd like to ask somebody else
to look into these packages.  The setup.hint files are looking ok to
me.  Did you pack using the correct paths as given on
http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents ?

Another point:  Aren't we still waiting for tetex-beta-20001218-3 
leaving `test' state or did I miss something?  IMO it doesn't make
much sense to have these texmf packages in `curr' state if they
depend on a `test' package.

Opinions?
