- README TeX live for Debian
- ==========================
-
- First of all, if you need help with TeX on Debian, ie with respect to
- file placement, configuration options, etc, please see the document
- TeX-on-Debian
- in the tex-common package, which can be found in
- /usr/share/doc/tex-common/
- in the pdf, txt, and html format.
-
- This file contains additional information specific to TeX live.
-
-
- Differences to TeX live (upstream)
- ----------------------------------
-
- Several parts of TeX Live have not been included into the Debian packages,
- mostly due to licensing issues (e.g., XyMTeX, which is not redistributable,
- or ppower4 which needs a jar file where sources are not provided).
-
- Some collection are not packaged, as the packages they contain are already
- in Debian, or should be packaged separately. Furthermore, some TeX packages
- are excluded from the debian packages out of the same reasons:
- already in Debian (incomplete list):
- cm-super, texinfo, preview, lcdf-typetools, passivetex, tex4ht,
- jadetex, xmltex, tipa, t1utils, prosper, tpslifonts
- CJK, arphic, c90enc, cns, garuda, norasi, uhc, wadalab,
- beamer, pgf, xcolor, lacheck, dvipdfmx, lm, dvi2tty, sanskrit
- musixps, musixtex, musixflx, musixlyr, texpower, tpslifonts
- should be packages independently
- collection-psutils, collection-ttfutils, collection-graphicstools
- collections gone because the containing TeX packages are in Debian
- collection-langarab (would have been texlive-lang-arab)
- replaced by arabtex
- collection-htmlxml (would have been texlive-htmlxml)
- replaced by xmltex, jadetex, passivetex, tex4ht
- collection-langcjk (would have been texlive-lang-cjk)
- replaced by latex-cjk-all
-
- If a package is removed from a collection/Debian package due to the
- existence of an equivalent package in Debian, the collection/Debian package
- depends on the other package, so no functionality is lost.
-
- For disappearing whole collections this is not possible, but the metapackage
- `texlive-full' depends on all the necessary items.
