Package: tetex-base Version: 2.0.2c-3 Severity: wishlist
Hi, More of a question than a bugreport. Would it be possible changing the default user-specific texmf dir to ~/.texmf instead of ~/texmf to prevent (as I percieve it) cluttering of the homedirs? IMO it is a more sane default. Problem is though, that some users might have a ~/texmf already (while I changed it to ~/.texmf on every machine) and swiching will lead to some problems. This can be solved by introducing an OLDHOMETEXMF (in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf) and paving the way for a conversion. ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-rw-r-- 1 paul paul 494 Jan 20 08:24 /home/paul/.texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 91 Jan 20 08:24 /usr/local/lib/texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root users 834 Jan 20 08:24 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 12 21:03 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN Greetings, Paul -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-powerpc Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages tetex-base depends on: ii debconf 1.4.42 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.26 Package maintenance system for Deb ii texinfo 4.7-2.2 Documentation system for on-line i ii ucf 1.13 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii debconf 1.4.42 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.11.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.10.26 Package maintenance system for Deb ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-7 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkpathsea3 2.0.2-26 path search library for teTeX (run ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libt1-5 5.0.2-3 Type 1 font rasterizer library - r ii libwww0 5.4.0-9 The W3C WWW library ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii mime-support 3.29-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.4-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor ii ucf 1.13 Update Configuration File: preserv ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tetex-extra depends on: ii dpkg 1.10.26 Package maintenance system for Deb ii gsfonts 8.14+v8.11-0.1 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre ii tetex-bin 2.0.2-26 The teTeX binary files ii ucf 1.13 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
