Package: texlive-pdfetex Version: 2005.dfsg.2-2 Severity: wishlist I'm still not sure I did this right to make everything within TeXLive happy... I copied pdftexconfig.tex into /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config then hacked it as follows, since none of the obvious approaches (running texconfig in various and sundry ways) seemed to work:
% Set pdfTeX parameters for pdf mode (replacing pdftex.cfg file). % Thomas Esser, 2004. public domain. \pdfoutput=1 \pdfcompresslevel=9 \pdfdecimaldigits=3 \pdfpagewidth=8.5 true in \pdfpageheight=11 true in \pdfhorigin=1 true in \pdfvorigin=1 true in \pdfpkresolution=600 \endinput (I'm not sure if I needed the full file or just the changes... but I figured better safe than sorry.) Then I did fmtutil-sys --refresh as root. I'm pretty sure I had to do the same thing back with teTeX at some point. In any event, could this go in an FAQ somewhere? I suppose the "right" thing would be to have this file modified based on the paper size set in libpaper1's debconf settings... -- Package-specific info: ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 quango quango 422 Nov 5 20:06 /home/quango/texmf/ls-R -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2066 Nov 6 18:00 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R -rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 76624 Nov 5 20:06 /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 5 15:55 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 30 14:24 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Oct 30 14:24 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov 5 15:55 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5487 Nov 6 17:42 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9823 Nov 6 17:42 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4231 Nov 6 17:42 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18.2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages texlive-pdfetex depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 client-side library ii libxmu6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii texlive-base 2005.dfsg.2-3 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-common 2005.dfsg.2-3 TeX Live: Base component texlive-pdfetex recommends no packages.
