Bugzilla Bug 227443

Just a tracker bug for app-text/tetex bugs.

There is already one - bug 222501.

not really, 222501 is at best a dependency of this bug. Fixing packages deps
has nothing to do with a tracker bug that could help if someone wants to pick
up tetex ;)

*** Bug 229043 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

2 and a half month later, absolutely nothing has moved. CC'ing treecleaners.

Quoting my old mail to -dev:
The other option is to p.mask and last rite it, breaking mips and s390
trees, leaving them without tex support at all. This would also
leave arm and sh with only ptex as tex support. Thus that is not really
an option yet, but I suppose there is no point in waiting forever on
this.


Those arches are all dev profiles now I think.

I concur, can you provide a list of packages that need to be masked and last
rited?

There should be none because texlive is stable these days...

ok, well. removing treecleaners since there is nothing for us to do here. add
us back if you would like something removed (or do it yourself =p) thanks.

Remaining reverse dependencies of tetex are:

app-text/xetex
  - removal request in bug 227593, for details see there

dev-tex/xkeyval
  - only "any-of-many" type reverse dependencies (in dev-tex/glossaries
    and dev-tex/ha-prosper)
  - included in texlive-latexrecommended (and blocks against it)

I think that both packages are clear candidates for removal.

> dev-tex/xkeyval

Removal is handled in bug 262897.

CCing treecleaners again. Meanwhile, TeXlive is marked stable on all
architectures of teTeX, except for m68k and mips. Remaining reverse
dependencies of teTeX have been last-rited, see previous two comments.

Considering that another 7 months have passed since comment #4, can we proceed
with teTeX removal? Or shall we wait for mips and m68k until Judgment Day? The
keywording bug 195815 for TeXlive is open since 18 months.

(And I think that proper last rites and package masking should be done in this
case, since teTeX was an important package. Silently removing keywords, as it
was done some time ago, has the disadvantage that users see no meaningful
warning message.)

# Ulrich Mueller <ulm@gentoo.org> (2 Apr 2009)
# De-supported by upstream since three years, see http://tug.org/teTeX/
# Please use app-text/texlive as a replacement. A migration guide is at

app-text/tetex

removed from the tree.

Reopening until reverse dependencies are fixed (should be all of the
"any-of-many" type, so no hurry):

   app-emacs/pymacs
   app-misc/chesstask
   app-office/lyx
   app-text/active-dvi
   app-text/dvipng
   app-text/jadetex
   app-text/xindy
   dev-lang/R
   dev-libs/beecrypt
   dev-ml/ocamlweb
   dev-python/epydoc
   dev-python/matplotlib
   dev-python/setupdocs
   dev-tex/bibtex2html
   dev-tex/dot2texi
   dev-tex/feynmf
   dev-tex/ha-prosper

For current status, see:
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/app-text/tetex
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/dindex/app-text/tetex

Should be all done.

(Including app-doc/doxygen which was missing in above list.)

I've replaced tetex-2.eclass by a placeholder.

tetex-3.eclass (and tetex.eclass) is still used by app-text/ptex ebuilds.
