Hi, I'm preparing a package for teckit. The compiler part of it, teckit_compile is included in texlive-binaries as a static binary. I'm preparing the package with the libraries as the libraries can be used by python and perl bindings, and there are a couple of other useful binaries too (sfconv and txtconv). I'm planning to include the relevant patches from the texlive source. I don't think it would be a good idea for this package to depend on texlive-binaries. So, what should we do about teckit_compile? Would it make sense for texlive-binaries to depend on teckit? Regards, Daniel
