Well, the workaround isn't equivalent to the bug fix. I haven't explored the issue thoroughly, so I'm not sure what the implications are. It's more likely to be an issue for translated editions, I think. Having said that, I prefer not to have to maintain workarounds and track when they can be removed, etc. It certainly adds to the complexity of the system. > If the Debian packagers of TexLive are on the ball, and repackage the > newest TeX Live in the next few months, their work will be synced > automatically into Saucy, so no problem anyway :) Well, that means there's some slight overhead for us during those few months between when upstream TL has released a fix and Ubuntu/Debian hasn't, because we have to maintain the workarounds. > I'm biased towards continuing to allow package use, since it is what we > told our Lubuntu folks to do, as well as my personal preference in > general for software management on Debian/Ubuntu machines. I would prefer to use the Ubuntu packages, too. It just seems that we always run into snags with them for one reason or another. :-( —Kevin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
