Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please remove psfig.sty from
/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/misc/psfig.sty (also tetex-src). This
package is quite obsolete in should should not be used in new
documents. If you have still old documents using that package you can
take instead epsfig.sty (part of the graphics-bundle), which is a
compatibility wrapper around graphics.

But is there any inconvenience to include obsolete
file(s)?

Thanks for your interest in tetex.

Not really. It makes the package smaller (just kidding!) and people
are forced to use the official supported LaTeX-packages and do not
rely on old obsolete packages. If you remove it the best would be be
to leave a note in README.Debian or in the changelog.

Thomas has removed the file from tetex due to licensing problems,
hence I tag that bug fixed-upstream.

Ad 1)

- #175623: Pandora - a non-free font family?

  There's no pandora.sty left in tetex-beta - probably because even the
  tfm files are non-free. If we stick to TE's decisions, this would mean
  removing 

$ find tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/ -name "*pandora*" -type f | grep -v Catalogue
tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/doc/latex/mfnfss/pandora.dvi
tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/tex/latex/mfnfss/pandora.sty
$ find tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/ -name "pandora" -type d
tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/pandora
tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/fonts/source/public/pandora
$ ls tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/fonts/{source,tfm}/public/pandora/*
[...] output snipped, see complete list below.

- #182324: please remove psfig.sty

  tetex-base-2.0.2/texmf/tex/generic/misc/psfig.sty

- #139900: Contains non-free hyphenation files and
  #219294, #247046: Please include (now free) cahyph.tex

  In my last mail to that bug, I wrote:

In fact those are not even in the tetex-2.0.2 tarball - no action needed.

sihyph23.tex is in 2.0.2, the others are missing. We should add them
from the current tetex-beta.

No action needed here.

There's one more: ukhyphen.tex, which is also removed from
tetex-beta. There's no permission to distribute derivative works.

We should also change tetex-bin and add the new files to the debconf
choices. But this one requires a change, because the postinst (fmtutil)
will fail if ukhyphen is enabled, but not found.

I noticed that the dependencies between tetex-bin and tetex-base are
awkward:

tetex-bin: Conflicts: tetex-base (<< 2.0.2-6)
           Depends: tetex-base (>> 2.0.2-5.1)

tetex-base: Conflicts: tetex-bin (<= 2.0.2-3)

I think for tetex-bin it would be sufficient to have the Conflicts
versioned, and the Depends without a version. Alternatively, we should
rather use Conflicts: tetex-base (<< $version) together with Depends:
tetex-base (>= $version), because it's easier to understand. But are
there any reasons why we can't simply use an unversioned depends? It
won't be unpacked with the old tetex-base being installed, and it won't
be configured without any tetex-base installed - and here any results in
"recent enough". Comments?

As for the new problem, we cannot put the information into tetex-bin,
because then one could install the new tetex-base and keep the old
tetex-bin, which would then fail upon dpkg-reconfigure. Therefore, we
have to increase the versioned conflicts:

tetex-base: Conflicts: tetex-bin (<= 2.0.2-15)

Description: 
 tetex-base - Basic library files of teTeX
 tetex-doc  - The documentation component of the Debian teTeX packages
 tetex-extra - Additional library files of teTeX
Closes: 139900 175623 176153 177401 182324 186869 219294 223912 245599 251761 255246 255672 255891 256911 258267 259003 261137 261496
Changes: 
 tetex-base (2.0.2a-1) unstable; urgency=high
 .
   * Don't rely on /var/lib/texmf/web2c's existense in tetex-extra's
     postrm - urgency high because of this bug's severity (Closes:
     #261137). [frank]
 .
   * New upstream tarball: Repacked by the Debian team to remove files with
     non-free licenses:
 .
     - british hyphenation (ukhyphen.tex) - users, please bug the UK-TUG to
       resolve this issue! Some of the other hyphenation files mentioned in
       #139900 are not contained in 2.0.2 any more, the other were taken
       from CTAN (with clarified license). (Closes: #139900)
     - Pandora fonts (closes: #175623, #261496)
     - psfig.sty  (People still using it should consider switching
       to the graphics package. As long as this is not done you may use
       epsfig.sty from the same package) (closes: #182324)
 .
     Some files have been updated with now free versions from CTAN:
     - russion, swedish, and galician hyphenation patterns (see #139900 and
       above)
     - g-brief: license clarified, new version from CTAN (europs.sty is
       only used if available) (closes: #176153)
     - caption.sty and caption2.sty (closes: #251761)
     - fancyverb-examples in fvrb-ex.sty (closes: #177401)
 .
     Wile on the way,
     - we removed the obsolete pdfcrypt.sty. PDF encryption is no longer
       supported by pdfTeX, please use external tools! (closes: #186869)
     - include (now free) cahyph.tex and icehyph.tex in orig.tar.gz
       (Closes: #219294, #223912)
     - We updated listings.sty which was first deleted from the
       orig.tar.gz, then added in diff.gz. But the version we had in
       diff.gz had a problematic license, the new one is LPPL. euler.sty
       also is in the orig.tar.gz again.
     - we included updated kpathsea.{pdf,dvi} in the documentation (fix to
       tetex-bin's bug #253958)
     [frank] with thanks to Hilmar
 .
   * Static font map files are no longer treated as conffiles (or with
     ucf), but instead are installed as ordinary files under
     /usr/share/texmf. Nobody really needs to edit those files (and they
     can still be overriden by putting files in /usr/local/share/texmf).
     Please refer to README.debian in order to learn how to get rid of the
     old files in /etc/texmf/dvips (closes: 259003). [frank]
   * Conflict with tetex-bin (<=2.0.2-15) because older versions will fail
     to install if ukhyph.tex is missing. [frank]
   * Include a correct fancyvrb.ps (in patch-tmp) (Closes: #256911) [frank]
   * Use correct name for the tetex-xwarn binary in texfind.pl and
     texshow.pl, thanks to Hilmar (closes: #258267) [frank]
   * Remove  tetex-extra's formats in postrm, also upon upgrade - thanks to
     Hilmar (closes: 245599) [frank]
   * Translations:
     - Updated Danish translation, thanks to Claus Hindsgaul (Closes:
       #255246) [frank].
     - Updated japanese translation, thanks to Kenshi Muto
       <kmuto@debian.org> (closes: #255672) [frank]
     - Updated french translation, thanks to Christian Perrier
