TODO
====
Contents
--------
1. Package updates
a. add more packages
b. fix ctan2tds and friends
d. outstanding package updates
2. Source updates
3. Installer
4. random stuff
1. Package updates
==================
Please see http://www.tug.org/texlive/pkgupdate.html.
And check/fix multiple files with the same name, especially with
different sizes and not under /source/ or /doc/ or /tex4ht/ -- kpse will
find one version at random.
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 et al.
-----------------------
(Aside from the whole script being a horrible kludge that needs
rewriting from scratch.)
tlprm does not know how to delete all emptied parent directories.
etoolbox.pdf from CTAN is incorrectly guessed by svn to be text, thus
the result is corrupted when checked in. So did:
svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream \
/home/texlive/karl/Master/texmf-dist/doc/latex/etoolbox/etoolbox.pdf
but of course somewhere in ctan2tl should check for this. And we should
check nightly that all pdf files can be read by pdffonts; or maybe on
commit.
check all die messages for "sorry".
wadalab
tlpkg-ctan-check must untar the archives in order to have file to compare
authorindex
the perl file "authorindex" must be moved to source/latex/authorindex
latex2e-help-texinfo
.info gets removed, but should really be installed under
texmf/doc/info. problem is multiple trees and place. same
problem with mkjobtexmf.man and thumbpdf.man.
right now, we svn revert the texmf files by hand after --place
and before commit ... not good.
%moreclean
rerun every package listed in this hash to be sure changes
around 24dec07 haven't broken things. be careful.
place should report on any files in the new tree missing from the tlpobj.
1d. outstanding package updates
-------------------------------
run tlpkg-ctan-check --check
check all mentioned in staw msg on tldev, 23 Apr 2008 23:56:50.
magyar: should be included in babel but is lacking a dtx, see
http://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=babel/4018
If not, should be removed cause duplicates magyar.ldf.
abstyles not updated but too old to matter
beebe needs tons of work
dehyph install as separate package, should be ok, hyph-utf8 uses it
eulervm vs. euler vs. new euler ... no eulervm.pdf
japanese requires ptex
logic/gn-logic14 conflicts with logic font
lshort-russian # only zip files on CTAN
ltxmisc various packages
malayalam 07-11-20 (tlpkginfo does not work on this) CTAN dir language/malayalam
malayalam-omega 07-11-20
mathspic # inside pictex later
mx NEW 08-01-26 a mexican dialect of spanish
plnfss # only a zip file on CTAN
psv # ps previewer, install through ctan2tl using /scripts/ ?
r_und_s plain files should be in tex/plain, but does it matter?
thailatex has some nonfree fonts
1e. tlpsrc2tlpdb conversion
---------------------------
should only find package names at the appropriate levels, so that
graphics.tlpsrc does not have to include lines like
docpattern +!d texmf-dist/doc/latex/tufte-latex/graphics
if ask for susy and have Susy, or reverse, complain.
In general, the package name field should match the directory.
(Except for all our bin-* junk.)
2. Sources updates
==================
ncurses should be removed -- only dialog uses it, and can't it use a
system curses? already required for texinfo. or maybe dialog is no
longer needed at all?
3. Installer
=================
- rewrite the installer to use TLMedia instead of the horrible hacks of
TLUtils.
- Shell libraries
. test the tlp_ and the tldb_tlp_ functions
. missing functionality?
. rewrite the long read/case with awk/grep/whatever there is
5. random stuff
===============
lcdf --with-cxx-runtime-hack to get static libs
kpse: texmfdbs should not have to exclude non-!! dirs, should be able to
go back to just TEXMF. kpathsea should search the disk even if ls-R is
present, without !!. (koch 29dec06)
see about including asymptote, pdfjam
rewrite updmap/fmtutil
. in perl (in lua?)
. 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 not know where many of them came from, some
correspond to nonfree fonts, others are obsolete, etc., etc. And yet,
removing any tfm at all will probably break documents and/or packages.
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.
bbold - get type1's from yytex repo, put on CTAN, etc.?
infra: texmf/xindy not reported by check-file-coverage though not in tlp's
infra: specify defaults for the package types
(TLCore/Package/Documentation) in a *.tlpsrc instead of buried in
the code, for transparency.
infra: consider removing texmf-doc
repo: remake with new svn, make special repo backups
repo: memman.pdf, etoolbox.pdf, hyperref README.pdf -- svn guesses
wrongly that it is text, resulting pdf is junk, pdffonts can't
read it for example. original on ctan is fine.
1) check for other broken pdf's.
2) change place to
svn propset svn:mime-type application/octet-stream
for all *.pdf.
3) report heuristic bug to svn.
