Package: python-docutils Version: 0.8.1-3 Severity: normal When I see command name "rst2latex", I understand immediately, that it takes RST-code and outputs LaTeX-code. It just follows common naming convention of command line Unix-programs. It is so common that even Jargon File knows about it:
http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/0/infix-2.html And that's fine: rst2latex really works exactly as its name suggests. Then comes command line program called "rst2xetex". That name suggests, it takes RST-code as its input and outputs Plain TeX -code suitable for TeX-engine called XeTeX. Bzzz! Wrong! It's man page says: rst2xetex - convert reST documents to XeLateX What the hell? If it outputs LaTeX-code suitable for XeLaTeX, why its name is "rst2xetex" and not "rst2xelatex", then? If I write LaTeX-code that is compiled with TeX-engine called XeTeX, then I compile it with command xelatex, and not xetex. That is totally stupid inconsistency. What the hell is going in the twisted minds of developers of python-docutils? BTW who writes Plain TeX -code, anyway, when we have LaTeX and ConTeXt? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (102, 'testing'), (101, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-4.dmz.2-liquorix-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-docutils depends on: ii docutils-common 0.8.1-3 ii python 2.7.2-7 ii python-roman 0.8.1-3 ii python-support 1.0.14 Versions of packages python-docutils recommends: ii docutils-doc 0.8.1-3 ii libpaper-utils 1.1.24+nmu1 ii python-imaging 1.1.7-4 ii python-lxml 2.3-0.1+b2 ii python-pygments 1.4+dfsg-2 Versions of packages python-docutils suggests: ii texlive-lang-french 2009-3 ii texlive-latex-base 2009-14 ii texlive-latex-recommended 2009-14 ii ttf-linux-libertine 4.7.5-1 -- no debconf information -- Juhapekka "naula" Tolvanen * http colon slash slash iki dot fi slash juhtolv "Quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
