tags 353693 help thanks The Problem:
- Binaries in the tetex-bin package are unnecessarily linked against libraries they do not use directly, but only indirectly through other libraries [1]. - The solution described at [2] doesn't work, probably because the package doesn't use automake. You: - Have some knowledge of the internal workings of autotools and libtool, or - You want to take the opportunity to finally learn about these internals - You have some time left - You want to have fun debugging this issue, which isn't an important problem now, but might get really annoying in the future What we provide: - A maintainer team (the Debian TeX Task Force) who are always eager to learn, to listen to clever explanations, and to read your patches - a package using autoconf2.13 - an unreleased upstream tree that has already been converted to autoconf2.59 Looking forward to receiving your application, including a short, handwritten resume and desired salary ;-), Frank for the Debian TeX Task Force Footnotes: [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html [2] http://people.debian.org/~keybuk/libtool-updating.html -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
