Package: texlive-metapost Version: 2007-12 Severity: minor The version of latexmp included with texlive-metapost, version 1.1.0, is very outdated. The current version is 1.2.1, released on 7 Apr 2005.
One improvement (fixing what I would consider a minor bug) is that it handles the origin relative to the bounding box better: by default it now places the origin where btex..etex would, rather than at the center of the bounding box. The 1.1.0 behaviour (center of the bounding box) loses information and makes it very difficult to line up different textext strings. -- Package-specific info: ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1005 2007-07-29 04:58 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2007-06-28 20:38 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-06-28 20:38 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2007-06-28 20:38 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2007-06-28 20:38 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7245 2007-07-27 17:05 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17242 2007-07-27 17:05 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10761 2007-07-27 17:05 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat ###################################### Files in /etc/texmf/web2c/ total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283 2006-08-16 23:02 mktex.cnf ###################################### md5sums of texmf.d 25bf3a257a0bedb5c67349c3eaff74af /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf 5f7f6652cc8b8071c9e4ea6ba9e9f0a1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf 8a26468004b5ebc7ae9884740356c1d0 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf ea33127256c6a9f37145ae5b16fdb80c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf afccf1d3f87057411166a77c58e00bd1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf 9da7c1c7b1eaf06f941af91f48a23068 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf 7ae52efac46feb97010986e57877d12e /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80DVIPDFMx.cnf e36faa13563bdb46303b91ab3f6ea638 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf 92e13107fe95c3f681df94e0235d0e45 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90tex4ht.cnf 7e8f87acdeba48edac16d851c77b9e75 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf 30f4f13357c2761ed01a6a15f28725a5 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (50, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-rc4 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages texlive-metapost depends on: ii libc6 2.6-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libkpathsea4 2007-12 TeX Live: path search library for ii texlive-base 2007-10 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-common 2007-10 TeX Live: Base component Versions of packages texlive-metapost recommends: ii feynmf 1.08-4 set of LaTeX macros for creating F Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii ucf 3.001 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-metapost is related to: pn tetex-base <none> (no description available) ii tetex-bin 2007-10 TeX Live: teTeX transitional packa pn tetex-extra <none> (no description available) ii tex-common 1.9 Common infrastructure for using an -- debconf information: tex-common/check_texmf_wrong: tex-common/check_texmf_missing: tex-common/singleuser: false -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
