teTeX-2.0.2: another texconfig fix
texconfig should no longer try to call "fmtutil --byfmt mfw". Doing
so gives
fmtutil: no info for format `mfw'
(but does not cause any harm).
The following patch fixes this.

teTeX-beta-20030228
Hi, while I maintain fixes for teTeX-2.0, the development for the next version has already started. Olaf Weber has released web2c-7.5.[012] and made the move to libtool, adopted Knuth's latest tex.web and included eomega. Other than Olaf's changes, this beta is at the level of teTeX-2.0.2. >From Olaf's announces: Changes compared to 7.4.6: - libtool - new sources from DEK (to merge with e-TeX, I effectively had to back out DEK's leaders fix). - little fixes - fix bug in kpathsea that caused coredumps during file search. - picking nits in the confgure stuff - picking nits in the makefiles _and_ in the *dir/*.mk makefile fragments. - The omega 1.23.4 tree (might be broken now) Use this beta with caution. There is no texmf tree included; just use one of teTeX-2.0 or later.

wants to change this default, that's his decision...

teTeX-2.0
Well, a long time has been around since teTeX-1.0 ... I hereby proudly
presend:
===
teTeX 2.0
===
This is the announce of teTeX-2.0, a TeX distribution for UNIX
compatible systems.
===
Main features of teTeX-2.0:
===
- included files reviewed for license problems; teTeX now is free software!
- program packages: web2c 7.4.5, pdfTeX 1.10a, e-TeX 2.1, Omega 1.23.2.1,
xdvik 22.40v, dvipsk 5.92b, dviljk 2.6p2, dvipdfm 0.13.2c, ps2pk 1.5,
makeindex 2.14, texinfo 4.4, texconfig 2.0, updmap 2.0, texdoctk
- main TeX formats:
plain.tex 3.14159265, LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>, ConTeXt 2003.1.31
- TDS (TeX Directory Structure) compliant support tree
with fonts / macros / documentation: 150 MB, >11000 files
- easy to install and to customize, even for a multi-platform setup
- ready for producing resolution independent (bitmap free) postscript or
pdf documents (including thumbnails, hyperlinks and bookmarks)
For release notes, please look at ./NEWS inside the tetex-src tarball.
===
Legal notice / license
===
teTeX is free software. Individual files and sub-packages are copyright
by different authors, but I have taken care that everything is free
software as defined by the free software foundation:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
===
The files / installation
===
You can get teTeX-2.0 from the following server:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (UK)
Other servers will follow shortly:
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (GER)
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/ (US)
A full list of mirrors is available here:
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/CTAN.sites
From these servers, you need the following files for teTeX-2.0:
sources of the programs (required):
==> tetex-src-2.0.tar.gz
support tree with fonts / macros (required):
==> tetex-texmf-2.0.tar.gz
sources for parts of the texmf tarball (optional):
==> tetex-texmfsrc-2.0.tar.gz
The installation instructions are included in the tetex-src.tar.gz
archive as files INSTALL (complete instructions) and QuickInstall
(short version).
===
Windows and MacOS X versions
===
I don't maintain such ports myself, but you can get them here:
Windows (win32)http://www.fptex.org/
MacOS X (darwin) http://www.rna.nl/tex.html
===
Documentation / getting started
===
teTeX contains a lot of documentation about the packages it includes.
For a start, please look at
texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.{ps,pdf,dvi}
and
texmf/doc/index.html
texmf means the directory in which you have unpacked the tetex-texmf
tarball during the installation process
===
De-support of repacked and binary distribution
===
Unlike previous releases, I don't plan to make binary releases or
sub-packges of the texmf tarball. Lots of other projects and people
provide teTeX in repacked and compiled form and I am willing to maintain
links to such resources on teTeX's web page. I think that I will do
a better service to the TeX community by concentrating on the three
tarballs (src, texmf, texmfsrc) and shorter release cycles, than by
providing binaries and repacking the distribution.

Good. omega is known to be broken due to obsolete files in the texmf tree.
Anybody who wants to test it should get
http://www-b.informatik.uni-hannover.de/~te/omega-update.tar.gz
and unpack it in the texmf tree.
On RedHat, please try lambda on the following file (but make sure to get the
omega-update first):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{trace}
\begin{document}
\traceon
\leavevmode
X\font\test cmbx10\relax

and let me know if it works (or loops with outputting [] forever).

LICENSE for src tarball
The same for the src tarball. The license is somewhat different. Comments welcome. Thomas -- The files within this directory are all free software. Most of these files are copyright by some author(s), but I have taken care that the following conditions are true: - all files can be distributed: no license fee is required - using these files (even for commercial purpose) is not restricted - modification of files is allowed or an existing translation scheme effectively makes modification unnecessary. E.g. Knuth's WEB files must not be changed, but the build process allows you to use change the generated .c files by change files. Please, check the license of a file befory you do modifications; you might need to mark those modifications or to rename the program. - the distribution of modified files and subsets of these files is allowed, but please check the licenses if you do that If you find any file that violates any of these conditions, please report that to me. February, 2003, Thomas Esser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
texmfsrc LICENSE
I plan to put the texmf license into source/LICENSE in the texmfsrc tarball. I don't want to put the file to the toplevel, because it would overwrite the texmf LICENSE when unpacked. Good idea? Comments welcome. Thomas
suggested license for texmf tree; comments?
I plan to add the following LICENSE to the texmf tarball (will be unpacked to the top-level of the texmf tree). Comments welcome. Thomas -- The files within this directory are all free software. Most of these files are copyright by some author(s), but I have taken care that the following conditions are true: - all files can be distributed: no license fee is required - using these files (even for commercial purpose) is not restricted - modification of files is allowed and the distribution of subsets of these files are allowed; but, please check the individual license before doing that (you might need to mark changes in some way or rename modifies files and some files might only be distributed together with other files) If you find any file that violates any of these conditions, please report that to me.

It would have been in time if there had not been non-trivial dependencies to eTeX and Omega. We have decided not to defer teTeX-2.0 for Knuth' changes. I did include all the updates to the texmf tree, however, so we have plain.tex version 3.14159265. Thomas

I have put the files to my server, but they'll soon be available for download at CTAN: ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/teTeX-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz I know that I need to put some decent info into the files in doc/tetex (texmf tarball) and README / RELEASE (src tarball). Still, I hope that everything is stable now and that I can release teTeX-2.0 later this month! ChangeLog entries: src tarball: * make texdoctk work again; remove auto-detection for database file * work-around for configure problem: common cache used by different autoconf versions caused problems * dvips update: no longer "." in TEXCONFIG T1_BUF_SIZE increased always allow the output pipe * no longer use tmp file in updmap which does not get removed * update to xdvik-22.40u * final pdftex-1.10a! * web2c-7.4.4 * bugfix in top-level configure: needs_xpdf -> needs_libxpdf * revert dvips fix (Tomas is looking for a better "real" fix) * texk/xdvik/configure.in: fix a silly bug texmf tarball: * update updates.dat (claim to be teTeX-2.0), adjust texdoctk's database file * update hyperref * update doc/programs * update koma-script * update texinfo.tex * update endnotes.sty * texnansi.enc texnansx.enc: remove ^M at end of lines * updates docs for Polish TeX users (from Staszek) * added pcrr8rn.map (for reference) Thomas
Re: 20030112 breaks dvips -o "|lpr"
Dear Akira, > I have understood you. Sorry for my ignorance! You are welcome. I never felt offended by what you have said. It was good that you have given a precise example. That showed me that we were not speaking about the same thing (you about backquote specials in dvi files, me about .gz files referenced in the dvi). Let me add the following: The backquote way of including compressed graphics was replaced by the direct reference to the compressed graphics in LaTeX's dvips.def some time ago. The new scheme has been teTeX's default even some time before that switch was made (teTeX has had a custimized graphics.cfg), because dvipsk and xdvik have had support for this. Thomas

This does not work and this is ok in secure mode.
I have written, that compressed graphics work *if the inclusion is done
in the right way*.

In this example, foo.eps.gz is the name of the graphic file in the
dvi file and dvips knows to handle it using gzip -d. Since this is a
predefined command (compiled into the executable), the dvi file cannot
override it. The situation is completely differnte with backticks in
the dvi file (which does not work and should not work).

This does work in secure mode. I have tested it. And it is good that it is like this. We have to assume that the environment is sane, otherwise you cannot even call open(), because some LD_PRELOAD could remap this call to something bad. Thomas

Great, great!
I just have found the new version in the perforce source tree and updated
teTeX-beta. It is good to see that compressed graphics in secure mode
work, if the inclusion is done in the right way.
Using a teTeX-0.4 setup (for latex, not dvips), where gzip'ed eps graphics
are included via
\@namedef{Gin@rule@.eps.gz}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{`gunzip -c #1}}
I get:
dvips: Secure mode is 1 so execute will not run
Whereas the teTeX-1.0 setup is using
\@namedef{Gin@rule@.eps.gz}#1{{eps}{.eps.bb}{#1}}
which leds to
. [1]
(even in secure mode).
Good to know that the compile-time configuration for running uncompress,
gzip -d and bzip2 -d still work in secure mode.
I think that font generation, output pipe and compressed images are
what most people are expecting to work in the default configuration (and
this is what we have now). Since the rewritten font generation code no
longer uses system() or popen() and since it does a strict checking on
the characters in its arguments, I think that this is safe enough now.
All in all, I think that the succent situation is a big step forward
where secure mode can be turned on while gaining a lot of security
without loosing much.
I suggest that we update the version number (of dvips) once again if we
see that it all works as it should.

I see. pdftosrc was even included in good-old-teTeX-1.0... I have
just added
@PTEX@pdftosrc = pdftosrc
...tie $(ttf2afm) $(pdftosrc) ...
to texk/web2c/Makefile.in. Seems that this is sufficient.

Good, we agree here. > What if the -o option comes from a config file; should that override > the security setting? In secure mode, dvips should not trust the dvi file. I don't see why dvips should stop trusting its configuration files. If these are messed up by some other security problem, then the user has lost already. So, I suggest not to disable the output pipe at all (no matter wether it was set by some config file or the command line). > very sorry for (possibly) holding up a new release. I'll make sure > to spend some time this weekend on it . . . That would be great, indeed. I plan to release teTeX-2.0, soon (now that pdftex-1.10a *final* is out). Thomas
Re: 20030112 breaks dvips -o "|lpr"
[added Tomas Rokicki to the recepients, throwing him into this discussion] Hi, -o "|lpr" no longer works, because the default config file of dvips now correctly sets secure mode on. Secure mode can be turned off by putting z0 into a config file for dvips or by specifying -R0 on the commandline (that -R0 does not work in the dvips contained in RedHat 8.0 which makes the problem even worse there). When I decided to enable secure mode in dvips, I thought it was a good thing to make sure that command execution via special's is disabled by default. I was not aware that this includes almost all command execution of dvips (font generation is controled separately), including output pipes. So, I think that many teTeX users will be suprised if teTeX-2.0 comes with security on by default in dvips. Tomas, I don't think that the output pipe is a security concern, since it cannot be set via the dvi file. Do you think that you can change the implementation of "secure mode" to allow the output pipe? Thomas

Assuming, that pdftex will be released in a few days, I am not going to defer teTeX-2.0 for Knuth's changes. These cuase non-tribial changes in e-TeX and Omega, so this can't be done in a hurry. So, I am going to release teTeX-2.0 without these. I don't plan to have such a long "beta phase" for one release again, so hopefully, we'll see teTeX-2.1 in a few months. Thomas

Willem Jan Palenstijn has found the reason for this and submitted a patch: From what I can tell, it's caused by checks for libz and the C preprocessor conflicting with eachother in texk/dvipdfm. The check for libz sets CPP to a temp value, and then starts the preprocessor check, which then writes the (very broken) temp value to the config.cache, which causes the locale.h check to break in texk/makeindexk/configure. ... A possible fix is to invoke AC_PROG_CPP in texk/dvipdfm/configure.in after AC_PROG_CC.

Re: papersize detection in configure
> The test for a4 papersize is not done correctly in these scripts: Thanks for your report. The reason is the way that AC_ARG_ENABLE is used in texk/xdvik/withenable.ac: AC_ARG_ENABLE(a4, [ --disable-a4set default paper size to letter and default unit to inch], [if test "$enableval" = no; then [ echo DISABLED a4/cm, using letter/in instead] fi], AC_DEFINE(A4)) The general syntax of AC_ARG_ENABLE is AC_ARG_ENABLE (FEATURE, HELP-STRING, [ACTION-IF-GIVEN], [ACTION-IF-NOT-GIVEN]) Inside ACTION-IF-GIVEN, the current check does check if $enableval is no or not, but it does not AC_DEFINE(A4) which it should if enableval != no. The same bug exists for all other AC_ARG_ENABLE invocations in the same file. Since configure is generated by GNU autoconf, it does not help much to patch it directly. The patch I have appended to this mail should fixes the autoconf macros. If you have GNU autoconf-1.13 installed (no other version will work), then you can regenerate the configure scripts by calling sh reautoconf I'll fix this with the next release of teTeX-beta.

You can use these sources with the texmf tarball from the last pretest (20021216). ChangeLog for src tarball: * update pdftex to version 3.14159-1.10a-RC2 * bugfix for texk/kpathsea/tex-make.c Thomas
bugfix for tex-make.c (20021216 pretest)
We have the following bugfix for the 20021216 pretest. I don't want to
make a new release just because of that (on the other hand, I don't want
to let you be uninformed about this bug, too). The file exists in the
texk/kpathsea directory.

Re: Problems with 20021209 pretest
> "--with-system-zlib". Even though both the system version of zlib and > the version distributed with teTeX claim to be 1.1.4 two typedefs in Thanks. I know where this change comes from and it was done to improve the win32 support for these libraries. It all works if you choose both png and zlib from the modified source (or none of them). The modification should be done in a better way. After all, the modifications are not clearly marked as such (which violates the copyright), so I just have reverted that in my sources. Thomas

I can recommend everyone who really wants to read the weave-output to run pdftex instead of tex on these files. Due to pdfwebmac.tex, the output has wonderful references in the pdf file.

This does change the existing behaviour and users might already depend on it, e.g. LaTeX users who use the mylatex package: latex \&mylatex foo There is no TEXINPUTS.mylatex and users will get the default TEXINPUTS setting instead of TEXINPUTS.latex. > Thomas, WDYT?

Re: is entry for omega in fmtutil.in okay?
> so its main action was "texconfig init", I believe.
Ah, yes. And that calls "fmtutil --all". I was not aware of the fact that
"fmtutil --all" tries to locate all hyphen setup files using kpsewhich.
This does not make sense and I have fixed this now in fmtutil (even
though the real bug was in fmtutil.cnf).

Yes, thanks.

Thus they'll appear on CTAN in due course. The sources contain preliminary versions of pdftex and omega. Omega has been hacked to use a different extension for its format files: .oft instead of .fmt, as the latter clashes with TeX's default. I'd much prefer to use .ofmt, but am not convinced that would be a good idea, as truncating that extension gives .ofm, which is already in use. On the other hand, feel free to convince me otherwise. These sources are especially meant to allow Thomas and Fabrice and me to sync up with each other, and may be of limited interest to anyone else (though they should be fully functional). Expect this release to be superceded "soon". As always, I'd be glad to hear reports about successful builds (especially if you use non-GNU compilers / tools). The ChangeLog entries: * merge with web2c-7.3.9 * texconfig: sometimes, we don't need tcdialog... * clean up ranlib stuff / remove library before recreating it * fix typo in texconfig * add support files for win32 texmf tarball: * update custom-bib * update ccaption Thomas

Hi, I just have uploaded a new teTeX-beta release: ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20021013.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20021013.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20021013.tar.gz Main differences from previous release: Thsi time, there are quite some changes. We have a prerelease of the new web2c (a stable version is expected very soon), a new pdftex version (1.10a-devel) and: omega is back (ver 1.23.1). I expect to be able to release a stable teTeX release shortly after the "final" web2c release is out (to give me some time to update the documentation). So, you can really, really help me if you test this extensively: the most valuable portability tests are, if you use the native tools of your system (most developers use GNU C, GNU make and Linux, so if you can test with something different, that would be great). src tarball: * merge web2c-7.3.8; BIG CHANGE! (new pdftex; omega is back; banner change etc.) * fix C++ runtime hack in texk/web2c/configure.in * new cli stuff for fmtutil * dvips updated from TeX Live (5.92a) * updated libpng (to version 1.2.5) texmf tarball: * Omega added back * changebar updated * supertabular updated * a4 updated (ntgclass) * update ConTeXt (2002.10.11) * update lshort (3.22) * update eso-pic * uk-tug faq updated * babel updated * tocloft updated * texinfo.tex updated * pdfpages updated * eurosym + extsizes added Thomas

I think that makeindex is no longer being actively maintained, so I try the best with the version I distribute with teTeX. I just have accepted your patch, but I have also added a few preprocessor defines to make sure that makeindex still works on systems without locale.h or setlocale() call. In addition, I have added the new options to the manpage and usage message. Thanks for the patch, Thomas

My system (linux with 2.4.19 kernel) get slower, but tex is stopped with

There are always ways to do weired things and to bring the system down
unless you set up limits that make the system unusable. I don't think
that adding such a system dependency is worth the trouble. Anyway,
the maintainer of web2c should decide that (since I aim to follow him
as closely as possible), so I'll forward him your request.

Maybe, this is caused by the wrong permissions of config.guess /
config.sub? Try if
find . \( -name config.guess -o -name config.sub \) -exec chmod 755 '{}' \;
fixes it (the wrong permissions are also fixed in today's pretest).

Downloading the standard fonts gives you bigger files, but this works around bugs where badly broken fonts would be used instead of the original Adobe fonts when using some funny software or postscript printer. updmap generates two map files for pdftex: pdftex_dl14.map and pdftex_ndl14.map (one with "download" and the other "no download"). pdftex.map will be a symlink to one of the two, depending on what you choose as pdftexDownloadBase14 (true/false) in your updmap configuration. The setup for dvips is more user-friendly, because updmap generates a default configuration for dvips (depending on dvipsDownloadBase35) plus two additional map files that can be used to override the default on the dvips commandline: -Pdownload35 resp. -Pbuildin35.

Re: Some remarks about pretest 20020825

So in order to run Ok, I think that I'll make one exception to my "keep it simple" rule for the array sizes. The extra_mem_top / extra_mem_bot settings are only needed for ConTeXt, so I'll make them let them default to 0 and have special settings for ConTeXt. With these settings, I can "pdflatex small2e" with 35 MB of virtual memory limit on my linux box. Thomas
Re: Problems with texlinks and fmtutil

I guess that the systems in question don't show "rc=0" when executing the following code: /bin/sh -c "trap 'echo rc=\$?; exit \$rc' 0; false; exit 0" On Linux with bash and with the /bin/sh on Sun Solaris 2.7, I get "rc=0", however. Anyway, I will use a common way for setting up $tmpdir and cleaning it up in all my scripts using the technique of the new updmap. The new way no longer calls the trap on "signal" 0 and needs an explicit call to cleanup(). A graceful termination of the script will call "true; cleanup" instead of "exit 0". The first motivation for the new technique was to work around a bug on OS/X (where /bin/sh is a broken zsh)...

Thanks for the report.
The only explanation that comes into my mind is that different texmf.cnf
files are used (with resp. w/o --disable-multiplatform).
Does it help to add TEXMFCNF=$(texmf)/web2c to Makefile.in as in
test -f $(scriptdir)/fmtutil && \
TEXMFCNF=$(texmf)/web2c TEXMFMAIN=$(texmf)
PATH=$(scriptdir):$(bindir):$(PATH) \
$(scriptdir)/fmtutil --all
