what is the best way to store the list of all available
latex packages. at this time I have
vector <string> packageList;
bool packageAvailable(string const & p)
{
// lyxrc.noPackageCheck allows a LaTeX-run without
// any check
bool found = find(packageList.begin(), packageList.end(), p)
!= packageList.end() || lyxrc.noPackageCheck;
return found;
}
// builds a list of packages from the local or remote tex-tree
// which LyX may support. The packages are saved without the
// sty-extension
void buildPackageList()
{
ifstream is(LibFileSearch(string(),"packages.lst").c_str());
copy(istream_iterator<string>(is), istream_iterator<string>(),
back_inserter(packageList));
}
