1. 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
---------------------
as we add new packages, be sure to add them to tlpkg-ctan-check.
ultimately, we want to go back and look at all the existing packages and
add them too.
1b. fix ctan2tds
----------------
(Aside from the whole script being a horrible kludge that needs
rewriting from scratch.)
check all die messges for "sorry".
beebe - needs work
r_und_s - plain files should be in tex/plain, but does it matter?
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.
The general theory is for the hyphenation files themselves to go into
texmf/tex/generic/hyphen, and the other support files (if any) to go
into texmf-dist/source/generic. Sometimes there are style files (plain
or latex or whatever) to install too. Except elhyphen and huhyphen are
in texmf/doc/generic and included in the hyphen-* package instead of
being their own! Which is better?
1d. outstanding package updates
-------------------------------
babel
various patterns added/updated, last 07-12-11
but latex-tds/babel.zip is NOT updated!
[discussing with heiko/ctan --karl, 26dec07]
ltxmisc various packages
malayalam 07-11-20 (tlpkginfo does not work on this) CTAN dir language/malayalam
malayalam-omega 07-11-20
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 upstream sources where we have them.
3. Infrastructure
=================
3a. general stuff
-----------------
space at the end MUST BE IGNORED!!! Currently the reading routines do
save terminal spaces ... that is bad!
3b. installer
-------------
- reusing 00texlive.config for setting installer variables?
BUT it could be used there, too, by saving options from the installer
to be re-used ...
depend install_doc
would indicate that doc files should be installed (but not src files
since there is no install_src)
depend vartexmfpath/...
depend localtexmfpath/...
would give the respective variables.
- more intelligent support of
texmf-local/web2c/fmtutil-local.cnf
texmf-local/web2c/updmap-local.cfg
texmf-local/tex/generic/config/language-local.dat
currently these files are simply added at the end of the respective
config files at installation time, but not in any way checked for
duplication etc.
see create_* in TeXLive::TLUtils
- Change the headers of the three "header" files
texmf/web2c/fmtutil-hdr.cnf
texmf/web2c/updmap-hdr.cfg
texmf/tex/generic/config/language.us
stating that the file is generated and the user should add stuff
to the above config files ...
- 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
- update.pl
updater ...
- Shell libraries
. test the tlp_ and the tldb_tlp_ functions
. missing functionality?
. rewrite the long read/case with awk/grep/whatever there is
4. for 2009 (?)
===============
- rewrite updmap
. in perl
. work with multiple updmap.cfg files independently
- rework the psnfss/fonts/metrics chaos
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=433137
(aren't there other more general debian bugs? utopia and fpl
aren't the problem.)
With the metric files, the problem isn't so much the packaging as the
provenance. We do now know where many of them came from, some
correspond to nonfree fonts, others are obsolete, etc., etc.
frank@kuesterei.ch's msgs to tex-live of 23 Oct 2006 19:19:28,
11 Oct 2006 13:32:20, and related begin to get at the problem.
- the cb font collection was reduced to 10pt only in 2007. If we and
when we stop releasing cd's, or implement support for having it spread
over multiple cd's, we should bring it back. Likewise the big pst-geo
file and anything else removed for space reasons.
