No. THere will be no texinfo format, as suggested by Thomas Esser and
Karl Berry. texi2* use the (pdf)tex binaries as is without the format.
There is no texinfo format in either the teTeX nor TeX live
distribution.

BUt I wanted to discuss this with the submitter before closing the bug.

Added changelog entry:
  * New maintainer: Taking over from Josip Rodin <joy-packages <at> debian.org> 
    as he seems to have abandoned texinfo.

Also, I have added:
  * Acknowledge previous NMU (Closes: #267497, #259280)

New packages are on tug.org (in 10min from now)

I'd just write a script to edit all the files....

Hi Hilmar!

Taken a look.

> Things I don't like:

True. I would ask the author, or assume they are GPL since they are in
the .orig.tar.gz from cm-super in GPL. And Mickael once mentioned that
he got the ok to distribute the files under GPL. (But maybe it was from
the .pl file he was talking)

I attach the quick hack manpage I wrote.

W: pfb2t1c2pfb source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.6.1

should be 3.6.1.2 (or was it 2.1)

New texinfo packages fixing CAN-2005-3011 (tmp file race)

Dear Frank!

Please grab a current texinfo_4.8-1 from the tug server.

The current packages include everything as before, plus the fix for
CAN-2005-3011 from Henry Jensen (bug #328365).

The package is lintian clean, builds in a sid/pbuilder, and installs on
sid, sid+tetex/experimental, sid+texlive.

Best wishes

Norbert

cm-super and cm-super-x11 ready for upload, version 0.3.3-1 (!!)

Dear Mickael! Hi all!

I have rebuild a new version of the cm-super package.

There are no severe changes, only that cm-super now Suggests
pfb2t1c2pfb, a package hopefully coming into Debian (binary of the
conversion routine).

Furthermore, MOST IMPORTANT, I have cleaned up the debian/changelog and
ship this version as
	cm-super_0.3.3-1
so debian version -1!! Consequence: install has to be done by hand or
explicit version:
	apt-get install cm-super=0.3.3-1 cm-super-x11=0.3.3-1

This should be the first upload to Debian/unstable.

It is lintian clean aside the strange man with Umlaut errors, and builds
in pbuilder/sid.

Please consider this version for an upload to Debian. Thanks a lot.
Grab it as usual at
	deb 	http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ cm-super/
	deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ cm-super/

Best wishes

Norbert

The attached versions is based on your fonts.scale but registers the
fonts also for iso10646-1. I am not sure if koi8-r would also be useful.
In principle it would be interesting to add more descriptive names than
sfrm1000 etc. I don't know why type1inst does not find/use FamilyName
here. In other cases it does use it, and mkfontscale uses in this case,
too.

BTW, I am currently a bit drawn appart between mkfontscale and type1inst
for the creation of fonts.scale files. I was working on mk-tex-fontpack
today and used Univers with it many weights as test. While type1inst
recognized all weights, mkfontscale decided medium and bold are enough.
On the other hand type1inst registers iso8859-1 only. Maybe I wil need a
commandline switch to choose between the two ...

I've gone ahead and made a bin-NMU for ppc to fix this bug since it
was affecting me... I've no idea why it was being caused originally,
unfortunatly.

Thanks a lot, I have gotten the respective emails from the ftp-master
system.

Will do it from now on, of course. Can I still ask you for sponsoring
cm-super packages, or should I look for someone else?

Great, thanks.
