I did check back with the tex-k development list, as well as doing my own experiments on gabrielli.d.o, and both sources I can confirm that memory dumps are architecture independent and can be used across systems. Am I right that my next steps should be: * make all texlive arch:all packages, as well as tex-common M-A: foreign * switch texlive-bin to dh9 and install libs into /u/l/$arch/ * mark texlive-bin and all the libs also M-A: foreign (this step I am not sure about - where are the various M-A field values defined?) Thanks a lot and all the best Norbert ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREINING, Norbert http://www.preining.info JAIST, Japan TeX Live & Debian Developer GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
