Hi fellow TeX maintainers! Updating from sarge/tetex2 to texlive:
What about adding the following code to the preinst code of all texlive packages in the upgrade|install part? # check for the presence of tetex2 packages by checking for # /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf if [ -r /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf ] ; then echo "You are upgrading from teTeX 2." >&2 echo "We move the following conflicting config files to file.disabled," >& 2 echo "After successfull installation you can remove these files." >&2 echo " /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf -> 00tetex.cnf.disabled" >&2 echo " /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg -> 00updmap.cfg.disabled" >&2 echo " " >&2 echo "It would be a good idea to purge all the tetex packages!" >&2 mv /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf.disabled if [ -r /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg ] ; then mv /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg.dis abled fi fi Any comments?
