+longdesc The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides.  Its
+longdesc functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any
+longdesc external programs and can directly produce a presentation using
+longdesc pdflatex. Beamer uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics.
+longdesc Frames are created using \frame{...}, and a frame can build
+longdesc multiple slides through a simple notation for specifying
+longdesc material for each slide within a frame. Beamer supports
+longdesc bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of
+longdesc title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional
+longdesc parameters. A \plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to
+longdesc fill the whole frame.  Support figure and table environments,
+longdesc transparency effects, a \transduration command, animation
+longdesc commands, a pauses environment. Beamer also provides
+longdesc compatibility with other packages like prosper. [description

+shortdesc Diagram macros by Francois Borceux.
+longdesc The Diagram macros realize the construction of diagrams as
+longdesc those appearing in category theory texts. The user gives the
+longdesc list of vertices and arrows to be included, just as when
+longdesc composing a matrix, and the program takes care of computing the
+longdesc dimensions of the arrows and realizing the pagesetting. All the
+longdesc user has to do about the arrows is precising their type
+longdesc (monomorphism, pair of adjoint arrows,\ldots) and their
+longdesc direction (north, south- east,...): 12 types and 32 directions
+longdesc are available; see figures~1 and 3 for exhaustive lists.

-catalogue breqn
+shortdesc Automatic line breaking of displayed equations.
+longdesc The breqn package for LaTeX provides solutions to a number of
+longdesc common difficulties in writing displayed equations and getting
+longdesc high-quality output. For example, it is a well-known
+longdesc inconvenience that if an equation must be broken into more than
+longdesc one line, `left...right' constructs cannot span lines. The
+longdesc breqn package makes them work as one would expect whether or
+longdesc not there is an intervening line break. The single most
+longdesc ambitious goal of the breqn package, however, is to support
+longdesc automatic linebreaking of displayed equations.  Such
+longdesc linebreaking cannot be done without substantial changes under
+longdesc the hood in the way math formulas are processed. For this
+longdesc reason, especially in the alpha release, users should proceed
+longdesc with care and keep an eye out for unexpected glitches or side
+longdesc effects.

+shortdesc German letter DIN style.
+longdesc Implements a document layout for writing letters according to
+longdesc the rules of DIN (Deutsches Institut f\"ur Normung, German
+longdesc standardization institute).  A style file for LaTeX 209 (with
+longdesc limited support of the features) is part of the package.  Since
+longdesc the letter layout is based on a German standard, the user guide
+longdesc is written in German, but most macros have English names from
+longdesc which the user can recognize what they are used for.  In
+longdesc addition there are example files showing how letters may be
+longdesc created with the package. [description copied from TeX

+longdesc Emp is a package for encapsulating MetaPost figures in LaTeX:
+longdesc the package provides environments where you can place MetaPost

+longdesc the procedure is to run your document with LaTeX, run MetaPost,
+longdesc and then complete running your document in the normal way. Emp
+longdesc is therefore useful for keeping illustrations in synchrony with
+longdesc the text. It also frees you from inventing descriptive names
+longdesc for PostScript files that fit into the confines of file system
+longdesc conventions. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]

+shortdesc Interface to Adobe's free Euro fonts.
+longdesc Provides a convenient interface for using the free Adobe Type 1
+longdesc PostScript Euro fonts. Loading the package defines a new
+longdesc command \euro which typesets a Euro symbol. The symbol is
+longdesc always taken from the `EuroSans' family, with the weight
+longdesc (medium or boldface) and shape (normal or oblique) varying
+longdesc according to the font currently selected. This Euro symbol
+longdesc meets the official design and matches almost any font family
+longdesc very well, except for typewriter fonts. The fonts comply with
+longdesc the `Karl Berry' scheme and do the same job as the europs
+longdesc fonts, although the TFM files differe slightly, probably
+longdesc because of different translation programs. [description copied

+longdesc Create a grading table, indexed either by question number
+longdesc (listing each question and the total possible points for that

+shortdesc Insert "fixme" notes into draft documents.
+longdesc This package provides a way to insert fixme notes in documents
+longdesc being developed (in draft mode). Such notes can appear in the
+longdesc margin of the document, as index entries, in the log file and
+longdesc as warnings on stdout. It is also possible to summarize them in
+longdesc a list. If your document is in a final version, any remaining
+longdesc fixme notes will produce an error. FiXme also comes with

+longdesc survive, as well as some of the finest dictionaries ever
+longdesc compiled in Asia, like the Pentaglot, a dictionary comprising
+longdesc Manju, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur and Chinese.  ManjuTeX,
+longdesc developed on the basis of MonTeX, provides all necessary
+longdesc characters for writing standard Manju as well as transliterated
+longdesc Tibetan texts, for which purpose a number of additional
+longdesc characters was created. The retransliteration (from Latin input
+longdesc to Manju output) is completely realized in TeX/Metafont so that
+longdesc no external preprocessor is required. ManjuTeX can hence be

+shortdesc Pazo Math fonts and LaTeX package to typeset Palatino.
+longdesc The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable
+longdesc for typesetting math in combination with the Palatino family of
+longdesc text fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts
+longdesc provided in Type1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath-Italic, PazoMath-
+longdesc Bold, PazoMath- BoldItalic, and PazoMathBlackboardBold). These
+longdesc contain, in designs that suit Palatino, glyphs that are usually
+longdesc not available in Palatino and for which Computer Modern looks
+longdesc odd when combined with Palatino. These glyphs include the
+longdesc uppercase Greek alphabet in upright and slanted shapes in
+longdesc regular and bold weights, the lowercase Greek alphabet in
+longdesc slanted shape in regular and bold weights, several math glyphs
+longdesc (partialdiff, summation, product, coproduct, emptyset,
+longdesc infinity, and proportional) in regular and bold weights, other
+longdesc glyphs (Euro and dotlessj) in upright and slanted shapes in
+longdesc regular and bold weights, and the uppercase letters commonly
+longdesc used to represent various number sets (C, I, N, Q, R, and Z) in
+longdesc blackboard bold. The LaTeX macro package mathpazo.sty defines
+longdesc the Palatino family as the default roman font and uses the
+longdesc virtual mathpazo fonts, built around the Pazo Math family, for
+longdesc typesetting math in a style that suits Palatino. [description

+longdesc are provided. Note: Font expansion and character protrusion
+longdesc only works with the pdfTeX compiler, at least version 0.14f;

+longdesc MonTeX provides Mongolian and Manju for the TeX/LaTeX
+longdesc community. Mongolian is a language spoken in North East Asia,
+longdesc namely Mongolia and the Inner Mongol Autonomous Region of
+longdesc China. Today, it is written in an extended Cyrillic alphabet in
+longdesc Mongolia whereas the Uighur writing continues to be in use in
+longdesc Inner Mongolia, though it is also, legally speaking, the
+longdesc official writing system of Mongolia. Manju is another language
+longdesc of North East Asia, belonging to the Tungusic branch of the
+longdesc Altaic languages. Though it is virtually not spoken anymore, it
+longdesc survives in written form as Manju was the native language of
+longdesc the rulers of the Qing dynasty (1644-- 1911) in China. Large
+longdesc quantities of documents of the Imperial Archives survive, as
+longdesc well as some of the finest dictionaries ever compiled in Asia,
+longdesc like the Pentaglot, a dictionary comprising Manju, Tibetan,
+longdesc Mongolian, Uighur and Chinese. MonTeX provides all necessary
+longdesc characters for writing standard Mongolian in Cyrillic and
+longdesc Classical (aka Traditional or  Uighur) writing, and Manju as
+longdesc well as transliterated Tibetan texts, for which purpose a
+longdesc number of additional characters was created. In MonTeX, both
+longdesc Mongolian and Manju are entered in romanized form. The
+longdesc retransliteration (from Latin input to Mongolian and Manju
+longdesc output) is completely realized in TeX/Metafont so that no
+longdesc external preprocessor is required. Please note that most of the
+longdesc enhanced functions on MonTeX require a working e-LaTeX
+longdesc environment. This is especially true when compiling documents
+longdesc with Mongolian or Manju as the main document language. It is
+longdesc recommended to choose pdfelatex as the resulting PDF files are
+longdesc truly portable. Vertical text generated by MonTeX is not
+longdesc supported in DVI. This version of MonTeX makes all former
+longdesc versions of MonTeX and ManjuTeX obsolete. [description copied

+shortdesc A psfrag eXtension
+longdesc PSfragX offers a mechanism to embed \psfrag commands provided
+longdesc by the psfrag package into the EPS file itself. Each time a
+longdesc graphic is included, the eps file is scanned. If some tagged
+longdesc lines are found, they are used to define the psfrag
+longdesc replacements that should be performed automatically. Though a
+longdesc similar mechanism is implemented in psfrag, (legends of the
+longdesc form \tex[][]{}), psfragx offers much more flexibility. For
+longdesc example, if babel is used, it is possible to define different
+longdesc replacements corresponding to different languages. The
+longdesc replacements to take into account will be selected on the basis
+longdesc of the current language of the document. In addition, a similar
+longdesc mechanism holds for overpic objects. These are picture objects
+longdesc superimposed on the included graphic.   Everything can be
+longdesc performed automatically, though some intervention of the user
+longdesc is possible after the inclusion of the psfrag replacements
+longdesc coming from the EPS file and before the inclusion of the EPS
+longdesc file itself [description copied from TeX Catalogue]

+shortdesc Use PostScript fonts by default.
+longdesc A small package that makes LaTeX default to `standard'
+longdesc PostScript fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the
+longdesc (obsolete) mathptm packages from the psnfss suite of packages.
+longdesc You must have installed standard LaTeX and the psnfss
+longdesc PostScript fonts to use this package. The main novel feature is
+longdesc that the pslatex package tries to compensate for the visual
+longdesc differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling Helvetica by
+longdesc 90\%, and `condensing' Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally) by
+longdesc 85\%. The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a
+longdesc `pslatex' command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be
+longdesc processed, without needing to edit the file. Note that current
+longdesc psnfss uses a different technique for scaling Helvetica, and
+longdesc treats Courier as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-
+longdesc width available now, than there were when pslatex was designed.
+longdesc As a result, pslatex is widely considered obsolete.

+shortdesc Figures broken into subfigures
+longdesc The package provides support for the manipulation and reference
+longdesc of small or `sub' figures and tables within a single figure or
+longdesc table environment. It is convenient to use this package when
+longdesc your subfigures are to be separately captioned, referenced, or
+longdesc are to be included in the List-of-Figures. A new \subfigure
+longdesc command is introduced which can be used inside a figure
+longdesc environment for each subfigure. An optional first argument is
+longdesc used as the caption for that subfigure. This package supersedes
+longdesc the subfigure package (which will continue to be supported, but
+longdesc no longer maintained). The name has changed because the subfig
+longdesc package is not completely backward compatible with the older
+longdesc subfigure package due to an extensive rewrite to use the new
+longdesc caption package to produce its subcaptions.  The major
+longdesc advantage to the new package is that the user interface is
+longdesc keyword/value driven and easier to use.  To ease the transition
+longdesc from the subfigure package it includes a configuration file
+longdesc (subfig.cfg) which nearly emulates the subfigure package.

-catalogue type1cm
+shortdesc No caption.
+longdesc LaTeX, by default, restricts the sizes at which you can use its
+longdesc default computer modern fonts, to a fixed set of discrete sizes
+longdesc (effectively, a set specified by Knuth).  The type1cm package
+longdesc removes this restriction; this is particularly useful when
+longdesc using scalable versions of the cm fonts (Bakoma, or the
+longdesc versions from BSR/Y&amp;Y, or True Type versions from Kinch,
+longdesc PCTeX, etc.). In fact, since modern distributions will
+longdesc automatically generate any bitmap font you might need, type1cm
+longdesc has wider application than just those using scaleable versions
+longdesc of the fonts. Note that the LaTeX distribution now contains a
+longdesc package fix-cm, which performs the task of type1cm, as well as
+longdesc doing the same job for T1- and TS1-encoded ec fonts.

+shortdesc Extending the LaTeX doc system.
+longdesc Xdoc is a project to rewrite the implementation of the LaTeX
+longdesc doc package (in a broader sense) to make its features more
+longdesc general and flexible. For example, where doc only provides
+longdesc commands for documenting macros and environments, xdoc also
+longdesc provides commands for similarly documenting package options and
+longdesc switches. This is furthermore done in such a way that it is
+longdesc very easy to add more such commands for documenting things,
+longdesc such as e.g., templates (an important concept in the future
+longdesc LaTeX3) and program components for other languages (functions,
+longdesc classes, procedures, etc.). A side effect is that many minor
+longdesc bugs in doc are fixed.   The design aims to take advantage of
+longdesc many still experimental features of future versions of LaTeX,
+longdesc but since these are neither reasonably stable nor widely
+longdesc available, the configuration interfaces and package author
+longdesc commands of xdoc are likely to change. To still provide a
+longdesc stable interface for other packages to build upon, the actual
+longdesc package names include a "major version number" of sorts. The
+longdesc drop- in replacement package for standard doc is xdoc2; it
+longdesc requires nothing outside standard LaTeX2e.   The
+longdesc docindex/docidx2e package changes the index and list of changes
+longdesc typesetting so that none of the formatting has to be controlled
+longdesc via the index style file. The docindex package provides control
+longdesc of formatting via templates (nice interface, but requires
+longdesc several experimental packages), whereas the docidx2e package
+longdesc has traditional raw macro interfaces and works with standard
+longdesc LaTeX2e. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]

-- list files (TLPDB->generate_lists)
-	how is the size generated???
-	for normal packages: just the sum of docsize/srcsize/runsize
-	for packages with binaries: sum of the above + the maximum of the
-		sizes of the binaries{$arch}???
-	for collections: the sum of the sizes of the included packages
-		plus the size of itself (in case single files are added)??
-	for schemes: ????????????????????????? no idea: I summed up the
-		size of all the collections, but it seems to be wrong!
-- list files II
+done, but in need of testing:
+- change longdesc to use the "longdesc" on every line, so that only files
+  are indented with one space
+- dont writeout catalogue if it is eq name
+- categories
+	Package		->	under texmf-dist
+	Documentation	->	under texmf-doc
+	Collection	->	under texmf and is collection
+	Scheme		->	under texmf and is scheme
+	TLCore		->	under texmf but is neither collection nor scheme
+
+
+really todo:
+- intelligentify the patterns that on windows foo{.exe,.bat,...} is taken
+- list files
 	we should somehow check for equivalence of the two sets of files
 	a simple grep -v emptylines | sort |uniq ... diff should do it
 - rewrite the place script
