As soon as packages are in the pkg-gnome repository, our common practice
is that anyone in the GNOME team can give a hand on the package or
update it whenever needed, so the answer is yes.

If the teTeX team wants to have access to poppler sources to be able to
hack them or update them as needed, maybe we can setup a specific
repository on alioth. What do you think?

Bug#344912: tetex-bin: binaries linked against unneeded libraries

Hi Frank!

First, I wish you a happy new year 2006!

Oops, thank you for spotting and fixing this. I will ask to sync the
new version to Ubuntu.

Thanks,

Martin

This is *not* the same bug.
1. You see completely different error messages
2. His bug was caused by incompatible versions of tetex-base and
tetex-extra (AFAICT), meanwhile your was caused by having anywhere
incompatible versions of pool files. These were not changed since
uploading teTeX 3.0 to unstable.

Yes, I know, bad using your packages makes it some 60Mb less.

$ su
$ aptitude install pbuilder
$ pbuilder create [--mirror http://ftp.be.debian.org/debian]	\
	--distribution sid
$ pbuilder build foo.dsc

Is a good start ;-)

Wow thanks a lot and also to you a happy new (western) year. Tried,
installed without any problems. Perfect.

If I would be able to test it, I could tell you more, but I am only now
learning some japanese...

Bug#345604: Undistributable?

Worse: from the (non-)license you quoted, it seems that this
documentation is *not* even distributable!

If this is the case, the Debian project is currently violating someone's
copyright by distributing it and should stop doing that ASAP!
