Excellent work! > I don't want to upset your workflow especially as you have a deadline > soon, but this is probably worth someone checking out to see if it > meets your needs. > > https://launchpad.net/~texlive-backports/+archive/ppa I ran the install-pkgs.sh script on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 and installed packages from your PPA until all the checks passed. Then I ran 'make' to build the manual and it appears that everything worked okay. The list of Ubuntu packages that need to be installed to satisfy all the manual's TeX Live package dependencies are: * latex-color * texlive-base * texlive-fonts-extra * texlive-lang-arabic * texlive-latex-base * texlive-latex-extra * texlive-latex-recommended * texlive-pictures * texlive-science * texlive-xetex * tipa In addition, the following Ubuntu packages are required to build the manual: * python-enchant * inkscape * make * po4a * ttf-kacst * ttf-arabeyes * ttf-bengali-fonts * ttf-devanagari-fonts * ttf-telugu-fonts * ttf-thai-arundina * ttf-thai-tlwg * ttf-linux-libertine * ttf-dejavu * ttf-dejavu-core * ttf-dejavu-extra * ttf-sil-scheherazade * ttf-farsiweb * ttf-sazanami-mincho If anyone else wants to try it out, install all the above packages (i.e., both lists) and then run 'make' and see what blows up. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or notice any inconsistencies.
