[Bug 132399] Re: fancyheadings.sty disappeared
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and have run into the same problem. I have
read the thread and have a question. Why didn't you just inform this
thread that fancyheadings.py was depreciated in 1996. (excerpt from
fancyhdr and fancyheadings)
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.98:
% Added % after the line \def\nouppercase
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.99: This is the alpha version of fancyhdr 2.0
% May 7, 1996:
% version 1.98:
% Added % after the line \def\nouppercase
% BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE LAST RELEASE OF VERSION 1.
I think a good solution would be for a file / package error handler that
INFORMS the user 'file / package X has been depreciated, use Y instead'.
You eluded to this above,
I would have created a
fancyheadings.sty
as follows:
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{fancyheadings}
\PackageWarning{fancyheadings}{%
= WARNING ==\MessageBreak
fancyheadings is outdated\MessageBreak
Please use `fancyhdr' instead.\MessageBreak
We are loading this package instead\MessageBreak
\MessageBreak}
\RequirePackage{fancyhdr}
But this file is NOT included, nor updated, in any standard set of LaTeX
packages. If I search the Ubuntu repositories I find it (apt-file search
fancyheadings)
tetex-src: /usr/share/texmf-tetex/source/latex/fancyheadings/fancyheadings.sty
When I inspect this it is not the file shown above. The file is a June 1995
version. What is happening?
Nigel

[Bug 132399] Re: fancyheadings.sty disappeared
I can confirm that the fancyheadings.sty is not installed withe neither texlive-latex-extra nor tetex-extra packages. I do not see any reason to declare the packages fancyheadings.sty as obsolete; even if there is one, there is no reason to remove it from Ubuntu, ever. If not in main packages, it could be available as 'latex-compat' or similar. I had to processed some of my older Latex files, and instead of getting a DVI in a second I had to google for hours to find why the thing does not work. Clearly the suggested s/fancyheadings/fancyhdr/ is *NOT* a solution. Think of the archive files processed off CD... Please, put the fancyheadings.sty back into some Ubuntu package.

Put it into your TEXMFLOCAL if you need it so > desperately. Hmm... this doesn't sound like "linux for human beings", does it? Yes we all *can* put it into TEXMFLOCAL, or install LaTeX by hand into /usr/local/, or make our own .deb package, or even our own Linux-from--scratch distro -- but then the whole sence in using Ubuntu vanishes. The lack of backwards compartibility is a serious problem and hits the usability of LaTeX in general and Ubuntu in particular. Remember all these MS .doc files that could not be read with the next version of Word? I use(d) LaTeX exactely for the purpose of having my texts available in the future when I need them. Having arbitrary packages marked as "obsolete" and removed without explanation leaves me (us?) with a bitter feeling...

I too would like fancyheaders.sty back. Its used often, and clearly not everyone agrees the obsolete label is correct. Hell, prof's are still insisting at my school (CMU) that proofs are typeset with it. What is the problem with keeping it? its only 9286 bytes in feisty! The argument that some other package is 99% compatible is bogus. Ubuntu is suppose to "just work" (http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition). Why not focus on an attitude consistent with the ubuntu mantra? And if that isn't enough reason, there is at least one current ubuntu package that use fancyheadings (removing fancyheaders broke kdissert).

Such a "redirect" style could have been integrated to tex-live ;-)) But I can see that a new tex distribution won't care for all addons of all other tex distributions.

I solved my performance problem with tex stuff run as non-root, using top and Google: In this article ... http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/MacOSX-TeX-Digests/2001/MacOSX-TeX_Digest_11-26-01.html ... from 2001 (!) I found: --- SNIP --- - Added '$HOME contains //' check to TeXGSInstaller installation script (if a directory ends on /, kpathsea can become extremely slow) --- SNIP --- Due to certain circumstances (see below) my home directory was set to /home/johndoe/./ After I removed the trailing /./ (and rebooted), latex and xdvi performed well again. Just in order not be declared crazy, I admit that such home directory settings are extremely rare. Such as: 1. Certain FTP daemons are taking /./ in a user's home dir as chroot-him-there hint. 2. When doing domain/mail/web/application hosting (even on our small level with some 20 customers) appending /./ to most user's home directory allows to easily chroot them for FTP access while still granting more freedom to a few trusted users. 3. To guarantee synchronity of uids, group memberships, passwords etc. we include most of our internal servers and workstations in the ISP administration system we created for ourselfes.

First let me apologize for my sour note above. In the first place I just wanted to know if anyone besides me is missing this fancyheadings style, too. Then I just wanted to confirm the simple fact, but sometimes my fresh angry thoughts fall in a feedback loop ;-(( Secondly, MANY THANKS for the tips, they work and I have put them in my 2nd brain, aka BLog: http://www.ibcl.at//ibclweb/ibclweb?page=ShowBLogArticle&service=external&sp=l150 As of the speed problem, I isolated this to some access rights problem. When I start latex or xdvi as root, they work usually fast, i.e. like a rocket. When I start them as normal user, they try to do something for a minute or so. I also have other minor problems of this kind, so I guess it is my fault somehow, and I will [s]trace this down myself tomorrow. My new ThinkPad is far too new for any OS, as it should seem, so I patched in newer ALSA and acpi_thinkpad drivers, tried several NVidia-drivers, produced umpsteen crashes during suspend/resume tests, and so on ... Somewhere along this path I might have killed some execute or sticky bit or something alike. I'll narrow it down, eventually cross check with a fresh gutsy i386 (it's amd64 here), and post any findings somewhere appropriate (and at least a link in here).

[Bug 132399] Re: fancyheadings.sty disappeared
The fact that fancyheadings.sty is missing in gutsy is obiously true and I therefore confirm it. ** Changed in: texlive-base (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- fancyheadings.sty disappeared https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 132399] Re: fancyheadings.sty disappeared
fancyheadings.sty is present in feisty's tetex-extra package, but is missing from gutsy's TeX Live package. I googled some comment that said that fancyheadings.sty was removed from debian's TeX packages because it has been marked obsolete for some time. This is very ruthless youngster thinking and absolutly unacceptable! For several reasons: + TeX styles has never been removed from LaTeX ever, there is no reason to! + Millions of .tex documents use this style and nobody is going to adapt them (which is very difficult btw.!). + Thounsands of scripts of old TeX users at companies, academic organisations and so on produce tex documents using this style and it's almost impossible to adapt them! + We rather live with old LaTeX than some youngster's stuff that lacks backward compatibility!!! -- fancyheadings.sty disappeared https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
