Package: kdvi
Version: 4:3.2.3-1.1
Severity: wishlist
Using kdvi inverse search functionality (see chapter 'Producing TeX
files for inverse search') currently require user to manually copy
srcltx.sty and srctex.sty to the TeX tree (one need also texhash what
is not mentioned). This procedure is troublesome (especially when the
user has no root privileges). And I see no reason why those files can
not be in correct place already (kdvi depends on tetex already, so it
can assume that /usr/share/texmf/tex exists and texhash works).
I have two alternative suggestions of the exact method:
(a) Those two files are no longer installed in
/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdvi/ but in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/kdvi (or sth similar). One can consider
removing the sentence about downloading them from the help file.
postinst script does texhash
(b) Those two files are installed to /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdvi/
as previously, but the postinst script symlinks them within texmf
tree and texhash's.
