[Fink-devel] new teTeX
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 The previous bundle-tetex package has been replaced by a new tetex package, and many of the old pieces (tetex-macosx, context, pdftex, etc.)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

Re: [Fink-devel] new teTeX
Hi Dave, Thanks for your quick update. One more package depends on carlisle: pdfscreen. This package can be removed without further dependencies. Is this package included in the new tetex, too? The package tetex-texmf produces one warning concerning a not empty directory while replacing the old package: dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/tetex- texmf_2.0-2_darwin-powerpc.deb (Reading database ... 53353 files and directories currently installed.)

The directory /sw/share/texmf/tex/latex/listings has the following files left: lstdoc.sty lstlang3.sty lstpatch.sty I do not know where they are coming from. A dlocate -S doesn't show any packages responsible for them. The rest of the install works fine. However, when I try to run latex, I get the following error: $ latex foo This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1) I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'! The latex.fmt is at /sw/etc/texmf.local/web2c/latex.fmt and was not touched by the install. So far from the testing front... Cheers, Remi On Monday, February 3, 2003, at 02:28 PM, David R.

Please note that the old bundle-tetex package is now obsolete (along with 11 other packages: carlisle, context, dvipdfm, epstopdfm, hyperref, natbib, oberdiek, pdftex, revtex, seminar, and tetex-macosx). Once everything has been moved to the stable tree, the obsolete packages will be deleted; in the meantime, you don't need to install them if you update your teTeX.

Re: [Fink-devel] new teTeX
My install went fine (syst-tex was where it was supposed to be) and everything seems to be working. I have tested it out on a document that uses T1 fonts and it renders them correctly, also correctly calls on ghostscript to render included postscript figures. You might want to configure it to look in ~/Library/texmf as well as ~/texmf for personal style files, since that's where people who have been using Gerben Weirda's distribution will have them. Or if not, put in a note about this to the user. On Sunday, February 2, 2003, at 12:03 AM, Martin Costabel wrote: David R. Morrison wrote: A major new release of teTeX is imminent.

How do I convince fink to reinstall the older version of tetex-beta?

I've tried giving it the explicit version number, also fink cleanup and fink scanpackages After the failed install of version 2, tex couldn't find my personal style files any more, so that's why I am trying to downgrade.
