Package updates +================== +Please see http://www.tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html. +And fix tlpkg-ctan-check when it can't find files or has other problems. +And check/fix files being in more than one package in tlpdb. +And check/fix multiple files with the same name. + + +1a. add more packages +--------------------- +ultimately, nearly every package in TL should be checked against a +master. good luck. + +1b. fix ctan2tds +---------------- +(Aside from the whole script being a horrible kludge that needs +rewriting from scratch.) + +authorindex + the perl file "authorindex" must be moved to source/latex/authorindex + +%moreclean + rerun every package listed in this hash to be sure changes + around 24dec07 haven't broken things. be careful. + + +1c. hyphenation patterns +------------------------ +There are endless hyphenation files to sort out if you care to work on +that incredibly frustrating task. Some half-baked attempts have been +made in ctan2tds et al., but nothing that really works. We cannot trust +that any of the hyphenation files are autochecked against CTAN; perhaps +we should write a special-purpose script that does that and only that. + +hyphen-norwegian.tlpsrc contains execute BuildLanguageDat nb but there is +no texmf/tex/generic/config/language.nb.cnf BAD! + +1d. outstanding package updates +------------------------------- +animate needs better directory layout, and metapost files should be installed +auncial-new NEW 05-12-05 +babel + various patterns added/updated, last 07-12-11 + but latex-tds/babel.zip is NOT updated! +barr 05-12-13 +bengali-omega 06-10-10 +biblatex NEW since long, needs some special cases +blanks 05-11-05 +bnf 05-11-05 +chicago missing ... +CJK several times +dot2tex 07-12-10 NEW? +dot2texi 07-12-10 NEW +eepic and epic 07-12-22 +flacards: doc pdf no source +gb4e 05-12-05 +glhyph.tex 07-11-07 +gmdoc 07-11-20 +guitbeamer doc-without-src WIP norbert +huhyphn.tex 06-10-21 +jsclasses NEW 07-12-05 +lshort-korean 05-11-05 +ltxmisc various packages +malayalam 07-11-20 (tlpkginfo does not work on this) CTAN dir language/malayalam +malayalam-omega 07-11-20 +mdwfonts 07-12-19 NEW +mlbib 07-12-09 ?? macros/latex/contrib/mlbib +pstricks-add documentation graphics/pstricks/contrib/pstricks-add/pstricks-add-doc.{pdf,tex} +r_und_s 05-11-10 +susy doc-no-source WIP norbert +tamil-omega (new?) 07-12-19 + + +2. Sources updates +================== +There are some patches to apply to the sources. +There are the program sources to update in general (e.g., dvipng). +lcdf-typetools should be moved to texk to simplify config (it is the + only kpathsea-using program in utils). +The README and/or README.TL files show upstreams sources where we have them. + + +3.
