I don't understand so much about subversion (read: nothing). Can't we
patch that file into debian/ and copy it into the texmf tree during
build?

I lost the context, but isn't the whole variable Debian-specific?  I
think I remember that TE declined to use texmf.cnf for this type of
customization, and therefore refused to accept (at least part of) the
patch against texdoc.  Didn't check the sources, though.

Bug#320746: tetex-extra: Problem with language definition in lstlang2.sty

Package: tetex-extra
Version: 2.0.2c-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,
the Ocaml definition in lstlang2.sty is broken.

a simple patch is to comment two lines as follows:

\lst <at> definelanguage[light]{Caml}
  {morekeywords={and,as,begin,do,done,downto,else,end,exception,for,%
      fun,function,if,in,let,match,mutable,not,of,or,prefix,rec,then,%
      to,try,type,value,where,while,with},%
   sensitive,%
   morecomment=[n]{(*}{*)},%
   morestring=[b]"%
%   moredelim=*[directive]\#,%  <--------- (1)
%   moredirectives={open,close,include}% <---------- (2)
  }[keywords,comments,strings,directives]%

otherwise I get two different errors:
(1) ! Package Listings Error: Illegal type `directive'

or
(2) ! Package keyval Error: moredirectives undefined.

this small example will do:

\documentclass{report}

Okay, clear.  I read: "depends on perl (if there is a perl script
missing)", but you meant "depends on perl (if there is a perl script)
missing".

Of course it would be better to have a longer description, but I'd
rather not create all of them manually.  If a texlive Debian package
contains one (La)TeX package, or one (La)TeX package plus add-ons, you
could try to generate it from the text in the Catalogue.

Not completely, I wrote that these lines are *only* in TEXLIVE and NOT
in debian/tex-common, at that time. Now they are there, so I propose to
just leave it as it is. Maybe we could add
	.zip;.Z
to the TEXDOCSCOMPRESS and
	.html;.txt;.tex
to TEXDOCSSUFFIX. But since I have no idea about texdoc in fact ATM I
don't care.

Best wishes

Norbert

Yupp.  What I wrote there was kind of rubbish: First of all, we only add
it in 2.0.2, in 3.0 it's in the original, unchanged sources.  Second, we
can always add files via debian/patches/patch-foo.

The latest version is included in teTeX-3.0 which we have packaged and
uploaded to experimental.  I hope to be able to upload it to unstable
at the beginning of next week.

Please also have a look at the changes we made to updmap conffile
handling, see update-updmap(1) and 

file:///usr/share/doc/tex-common/Debian-TeX-Policy.html/ch4.html#s4.1

Re: Updates on Debian TeX live packages

Hi all!

Concerning the descriptions, some comments from my side:

The problem is that all the texlive-debian packages are generated from
the respective collection-* TPMs, which normally include a whole bunch
of other packages/TPMs.

THe problem is - as I said - with the descriptions in the collection-*
files, which are probably not updated from the Catalogue.

For now I have decided that I will:

Finally pts-tetex-cm-super has made it into unstable, initially
packaged by Peter Szabo. I'll check that package for bugs and
compatibility to teTeX 2.0.2 and hopefully can report back shortly.
