Package: jadetex
Version: 3.13-6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

a new Tex distribution was added to Debian: Tex-Live. It would be great
if your package supports it. To do so add an appropriate dependency rule.
An alternative of tetex-bin | texlive-base should be enough, but check
what your package really need. In case of questions the people on the
texlive mailinglist pkg-texlive-maint@lists.alioth.debian.org might help.

Thank you.

Bye, Jörg.

Followup-For: Bug #375037

Hi,

I'd like to add that it is not as easy as changing the dependecies. I
did that here and the package prevents configuration of texlive-base-bin,
due to some problems with the fmtutil-call.

Indeed, and this is a problem that can also occur with teTeX alone.
Imagine the following scenario:

- tetex-base, tetex-bin and jadetex are installed, the formats are
  generated.

- tetex-base and -bin are updated in the same dpkg run.  Updating either
  tetex--base or -bin requires all formats to be rebuilt (because of
  [possible] changes in the engine's, pool files, input files, etc.), so
  both postinst scripts will trigger a rebuild.  After unpacking and
  before configuration, tetex-bin's configuration file
  /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf exists, but there is also a
  /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf.dpkg-new.  tetex-base will be configured
  before tetex-bin.  Because of the dpkg-new file, update-fmtutil called
  by tetex-base's postinst will ignore information in 01tetex.cnf, but
  it will not ignore 40jadetex.cnf which has no dpkg-new file.

- tetex-base's postinst calls fmtutil --all, and - woosh - there's no
  information about the latex format which jadetex wants to load.  Thus
  fmtutil and tetex-base's postinst will fail.

The solution is to not load the pregenerated latex.fmt, but instead load
latex.ltx in jadetex.ini, just as latex.ini does it, before doing the
proper jadetex stuff.  Consequently, the format line in the fmtutil.cnf
snippet must be changed:

I should remark that this is something that we, the TeX maintainers,
were not aware of, so there's also no fault on the side of the jadetex
maintainer. xmltex has the same problem.

Package: jadetex
Version: 3.13-6
Followup-For: Bug #384334

Dear Ohura-san!

Frank already posted the absolutly minimal changes which would help
fixing the updates problems with tetex/texlive.

Furthermore, I have prepared a package including several changes, here
is the changelog entry with additional comments.

Please consider the attached changes for an updated package. I attach a
diff between the current 3.13-6 and 3.13-6.2.

jadetex (3.13-6.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU
  * change fmtutil line to not load the latex format, but put the loading of
    latex.ini into jadetex.ini and pdfjadetex.ini (Closes: #384334)

What happens here Frank already has described.

  * add alternative dependencies on texlive (Closes: #375037)

This is wishlist bug 

   * switch to dh_installtex (Closes: #352845, #335225, #343104)
     - add the respective call to debian/rules
     - remove fmt generation code in postinst
     - remove prerm file

closes several bugs calling fmtutil. Furthermore it adds adherence to
the TeX Policy, ie that files installed into /etc/texmf/fmt.d/ are
listed in /var/lib/tex-common/fmt.d to get the update-fmtutil mechanism
right. The removal of the fmt generation code can be done as
dh_installtex adds the respective code automatically to the resp.
scripts.

   * adjust texmf.d config snippet:
     - add latex in the search path (Closes: #384332)
     - drop useless pdftex path component

This closes bug #384332

   * bump standards version to 3.7.2, no changes necessary
   * move debhelper from build-deps-indep to build-deps

two lintian warnings

   * recommend tipa (Closes: #384206)


Best wishes

Norbert

There's two more things that could/should be done:  

- Since the ini files in /etc/texmf/jadetex are not really configuration
  files (instead, new formats should be created), they shouldn't be in
  /etc, and be moved to /usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/config/ directly

- The copyright information for the debian-specific parts is outdated.

I was thinking about implementing this, but there is a slight problem:

/usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/config is a symlink to /etc/texmf/jadetex.

So the right solution would be (this is a question!):

- preinst: if /usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/config is a link to
  /etc/texmf/jadetex, remove the link.
- postinst: if the /etc/texmf/jadetex/*.ini files are the same as the
  newly installed ones under /u/s/..., remove the files and optionally
  (if empty) also /etc/texmf/jadetex, otherwise leave the files there
  and create a big fat warning?

> - The copyright information for the debian-specific parts is outdated.

As discuss, I leave it. What I might do is that I add myself for the
packages I create...

tetex-base in sarge has a "reference implementatin" for such a thing,
taken from some Xfree package and originaly developped by Branden
Robinson.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear Ohura-san!

I updated the patch/NMU to include the following two suggestions from
Frank:
  * move the ini files to /usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/config
this is again for compliance with the TeX Policy.

  * extend the copyright notices on the Debian packaging part a bit
Here I added you (with a "probably" because I don't know it for sure),
and myself.

Again attached is a diff between 3.13-6 and 3.13-6.2, an updated one.

Best wishes and thanks for considering

Norbert

During our bug-squashing-party we decided that it would be a good idea
to make jadetex become RC bug free in etch and upload the NMU that
Norbert prepared. However, to make sure that Ohura-san is part of the
decision making I only uploaded it to delayed-4. So, if someone objects
we are able to react before it goes into incoming.
