This is from a message sent to the debian-devel list by Frank Kuester in April: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Debian TeX Task force is currently preparing an upload of TeX Live 2007 to unstable. With this version, teTeX will vanish as a separate package and only continue to exist as transitional packages. teTeX has been abandoned upstream. TeX Live, which uses most of the scripts developed for teTeX, is its successor in Debian (and elsewhere), and we do not plan to support both systems beyond the lifetime of etch. The transitional packages were designed to give users a sensible choice of TeX stuff, depending on whether they had tetex-extra or only tetex-bin installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Esser (the principal developer of teTeX) cooperated with the TeXLive developers from the start and contributed to the project (which was based on teTeX). In May 2006 he announced that there would be no further releases of teTeX and suggested that anyone interested in teTeX development should contribute to the TeXLive project: http://tug.org/tetex/ http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/live.html#x1-640009 Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
