1. Project latex-tds
=====================

Bundle `latex-tds' provides a set of ZIP file modules containing TDS-compliant
trees for items of the LaTeX distribution (both the base system and required
packages), together with `user-friendly' documentation (PDF files with
navigation support using bookmarks and links).

Version:

    2013/03/10

Author:

    Heiko Oberdiek

Email and bug report address:

    heiko.oberdiek at googlemail.com

CTAN home page with distribution files:

    CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/latex-tds/

Source repository (without distribution files):

    https://github.com/oberdiek/latex-tds

1.1. How it has started
------------------------

The project started as I wanted to install the new LaTeX release 2005/12/01
that was announced at 2006/04/27. However the files are not packed in TDS
format, ready for unpacking in the destination directory. And the documentation
files were not yet generated or the provided PDF files are lacking of basic
features such as bookmarks or link support. Thus this project has started. I
thought it could be finished during the afternoon at the day of the
announcement …

1.2. Goals of the project
--------------------------

  • From the sources a TDS compliant tree is constructed and populated. The
    zipped result is distributed.

  • All the documentation is generated from the sources. The PDF files are user
    friendly and provide navigational support with bookmarks and links.

  • The PDF files are post-processed to reduce the file size.

1.3. Scope
-----------

I do not have the time to assemble a TeX distribution with thousands of
packages. Therefore I restricted myself to the LaTeX base distribution and the
required bundles. In the following I will use the term ‘module’ for a package
bundle.

1.4. Module list

3. Download
============

The home of the project is located at:

CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/latex-tds/

The following files can be downloaded:

  • README, README.html, README.pdf: The README file in different formats.

  • <module>.tds.zip: The module distribution files, see section ‘Module list’
    above for the available modules.

  • source.tds.zip: The sources, mainly the build script, configuration and
    driver files, and patches. Some of the used tools are not provided, see
    section ‘Build Hints’.

  • latex-tds.tds.zip: The universe, the contents of all the ZIP files above,
    merged together.


4. Installation Hints
======================

Hopefully the result of this project helps you in the installation process. You
get a TDS compliant tree just by unpacking.

Example:

  cd /some/where/texmf
  unzip latex-tds

or unzip’s option -d:

  unzip latex-tds -d /some/where/texmf

Instead of the universe ZIP file single modules can be selected.

Important to remember, point your unpack process right in the root directory of
your TDS tree. The directory structure in the ZIP files start with the
top-level directories:

  doc/latex/base/...
  tex/latex/tools/...
  source/...

Rationale: The root directory of a TDS tree can have different names, such as
texmf-dist, texmf-local, …

4.1. Hints
-----------

  • Refresh the file name database.

  • Be aware that unpacking can insert and update files, but never deletes
    obsolete ones. Remainders of previous releases can cause trouble.

  • Depending on the module further installation steps can be necessary,
    consult the module’s own documentation.

4.1.1. Module base

  • The default texsys.cfg that LaTeX provides is put into TDS:tex/latex/base.
    It must be removed, if you need a specialized version. Consult your TeX
    distribution and TDS:doc/latex/base/source2e.pdf (module ltdirchk). Usually
    changes are not required for many TeX distributions such as Unix (web2c),
    MikTeX, …

  • Formats need rebuilding (e.g., fmtutil).

4.1.2. Module babel

  • Most hyphenation patterns are not provided here. Usually you can find them
    somewhere below CTAN:language/hyphenation/.

  • Language configuration (language.dat), see the documentation of your TeX
    distribution.

  • Formats need rebuilding.

4.1.3. Module psnfss

  • The map files need further configuring (e.g., updmap).

4.1.4. Module graphics

  • Module graphics does not provide all driver files, because some are
    developed independently (pdftex.def, …).

7. Design Principles
=====================

  • Compliance with the latest TDS specification.

  • No redundancy.

  • User friendly PDF files with navigational support:

      □ bookmarks

      □ links

  • Complete documentation. The documentation generation with enhanced PDF
    files is the tricky part and should be saved from the user.

  • Output format of generated documentation is PDF, see above. Other formats
    such as DVI or PS are not generated and provided.

  • Documentation bundles are preferred to many partial documentation files
    (e.g. source2e.pdf or ltnews.pdf).

  • If several expansion stages of a documentation are available, then just the
    most complete expansion stage should be used.

  • Files that do not fit in a program sub tree of TDS stay below TDS:source
    (e.g. latexbug.el from latex/base). Then they do not get lost at least.

  • Page layout: a4paper with reduced vertical margins (exception: ltnews).
    (This also decreases the page number usually.)

  • …


8. Remarks
===========

8.1. Base
----------

  • source2e.pdf is used instead of many single lt*.pdf files.

  • ltnews.pdf is introduced to avoid cluttering the doc directory with many
    single sheet ltnews*.pdf files.

  • Patch for ltfssdcl.dtx: Checksum fixed.

  • …

8.2. Tools
-----------

  • Added: tools.pdf as overview/contents/index file with links and short
    descriptions of the single packages. (It uses the data from manifest.txt).

  • …

8.3. Babel
-----------

  • Babel’s TeX files consists of three groups of files:

     1. Hyphenation pattern, see below.

     2. Generic files:

          ☆ *.ldf (language definition files)

          ☆ *.sty (from bbcompat.dtx, these are plain TeX files, LaTeX user
            have the package babel)

          ☆ babel.def, switch.def

          ☆ plain.def

          ☆ b*plain.tex

          ☆ esbst.tex

     3. LaTeX files:

          ☆ *.fd

          ☆ *enc.def (for package fontenc)

          ☆ cp*.def, 8859-8.def, si960.def (for package inputenc)

          ☆ babel.sty

          ☆ romanidx.tex

          ☆ athnum.sty, grmath.sty, grsymb.sty (greek.ins)

          ☆ heb*.sty

        Full TDS compliance would use different format subtrees for the generic
        and LaTeX files. However practice (TeX Live, teTeX, VTeX, …) put them
        in generic, mainly because of maintenance issues. Also babel’s *.ins
        files specify \usedir{tex/generic/babel}. There can be problems, if
        different TDS trees have different babel versions installed and the
        same file can be found both in generic and latex. The natural search
        strategy for TDS compliant trees would be to look first in tex/latex
        across the trees, then in tex/generic. Thus it can happen to use files
        from the same package, but different versions. Therefore latex-tds put
        these files in the generic subtree.

  • Babel already contains babel.pdf as documentation. It is a superset of
    user.pdf. Thus I have dropped the latter one to avoid redundancy. Also the
    name babel.pdf is much more useful (texdoc).

  • …

8.4. Knuth
-----------

  • Current CTAN → TDS mapping in use: CTAN:systems/knuth/dist → TDS:<toplevel>
    /knuth

  • Unsure where to put trip/trap files. Currently they are put in TDS:source,
    because the documentation files (tripman.pdf, trapman.pdf) are in TDS:doc.
    They lists the trip/trap files already.

  • Not covered is CTAN:systems/knuth/dist/lib/ In TeX Live 2007/2008 the files
    are installed at different locations:

    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo10.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo8.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo9.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logobf10.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logosl10.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/grayf.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/manfnt.mf
    texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/slant.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/base/expr.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/base/io.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/base/null.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/base/plain.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/3test.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/6test.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/rtest.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/test.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/waits.mf
    texmf-dist/metafont/misc/ztest.mf
    texmf-dist/mft/base/cmbase.mft
    texmf-dist/mft/base/plain.mft
    texmf-dist/tex/generic/misc/null.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/manmac.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/mftmac.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/plain.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/story.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/testfont.tex
    texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/webmac.tex
    texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex

8.5. e-TeX
-----------

  • Only the manual ‘etex_man’ is covered by this module.


9. Build Hints
===============

The most important advice I can give: ‘Forget it’! The purpose of the source
files are rather to show, what was done in which way. The *.zip with TDS trees
are the goal of the project, not the build process. Some remarks, if someone
wants to build the modules himself:

  • TeX compiler: LuaTeX and pdfTeX (≥ 1.30).

  • An up-to-date LaTeX installation, at least TeX Live 2012.

  • Additional packages can be necessary, e.g. CTAN:language/armenian/
    armtex.zip is not part of TeX Live 2012.

  • Most of the PDF files are generated using lualatex and package ‘fontspec’
    that uses the Latin Modern fonts as default. They are available as OpenType
    fonts. LuaTeX generates with OpenType fonts considerably smaller PDF files.
    Also PDF object stream compression is used (PDF 1.5). Therefore the further
    post-processing of PDF files are currently dropped.

  • (Outdated since 2011-07-01) PDF post-processing, I have used two steps:

     1. First step:

         1. I have written a tool that analyzes page stream contents and
            optimizes them (removal of unnecessary color settings, minimize
            translation operations, …) → pdfbox-rewrite.jar.

         2. For reading and writing the PDF file I have used PDFBox →
            PDFBox-0.7.2.jar (http://pdfbox.apache.org/).

         3. To get better results I patched some of the classes of PDFBox
            (especially the write module) → pdfbox-rewrite.jar.

     2. The final conversion step was done by Multivalent, because it makes a
        very good job in PDF compression: → Multivalent20060102.jar (http://
        multivalent.sourceforge.net/)

    Multivalent and PDFBox are available, pdfbox-rewrite.jar, however, is just
    a first prototype, not ripe for a release. Therefore this step of
    post-processing is optional for the project latex-tds. The build script
    looks for the library and skips this steps automatically if necessary. If
    you give the build script the option --nopostprocess, then it will skip the
    postprocess steps (building is faster, the pdf files a little larger).
    Install the jar files in the directory lib where they are expected by the
    build script.

  • Unix, Perl background is expected.

  • No support or documentation.
