Dear all, |
2 |
|
3 |
app-text/tetex is currently assigned to tex as maintainer, but, in my |
4 |
opinion, that's a lie. I have not seen any movement on tetex bugs for a |
5 |
while. |
6 |
I have opened a tracker bug (#227443, [1]), if someone feels the |
7 |
courage of picking it up. I don't have neither the time nor the will to |
8 |
do it myself. |
9 |
While it has been stated since more than two years on tetex's homepage |
10 |
that people should use texlive [2], we still cannot really remove it |
11 |
from our tree. |
12 |
|
13 |
What I'm planning to do, if nobody comes to maintain it, is to reassign |
14 |
its bugs to maintainer-needed and update its metadata.xml to reflect |
15 |
that. |
16 |
|
17 |
In case we have someone crazy enough to pick it up, I am of course |
18 |
available to try to answer any question. |

The other option is to p.mask and last rite it, breaking mips and s390 |
22 |
trees, leaving them without tex support at all. This would also |
23 |
leave arm and sh with only ptex as tex support. Thus that is not really |
24 |
an option yet, but I suppose there is no point in waiting forever on |
25 |
this. |
