Subject: tetex-bin: ovp2ovf does not work at all

Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:27:51 +0100

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch

There are some bugs in ovp2ovf like programs (those written in C, not in Web)
in tetex-2.0.2 that prevent them for working at all. For instance, a file
beginning by "(OFMLEVEL D 0)" will make ovp2ovf produce the following error :
"OFMLEVEL value must be D 0 or D 1". Here's an obvious patch for this
particular problem :

Then, one may note that the program segfaults if VTITLE is not defined :

Dear Yannis,

Down here in the Debian Bug Tracking System we've got a report about
Omega-related programs. You and John Plaice are said to be the
authors of Omega.
Before I try to forward it to you the official way: Could you please
have a look, whether this bug report is correct or bogus, if it is
known in upstream or if even there exist a fixed version?

Kind regards and many thanks in advance,

As we "only" package the teTeX-package from Thomas Esser, we'll get
the bug fixes as soon as they have been incorporated into upstream
teTeX and a new teTeX-version were released. I guess you and Yannis
are working hand in hand with TE so please send the fix to him and
we'll get it.
Thanks for cooperation!

Regards,
  Hilmar

A year ago you reported that bug to the DBTS. Actually teTeX 3.0 is
short before being released. In that release the bug is fixed and you
are mentioned in a comment in the source.

hille@preusse:~$ ovp2ovf a.ovp
