Bug 136219 – powerdot-1.3.0.ebuild (new package)

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adam Piątyszek 2006-06-09 12:34:53 UTC]

Hi!

I have prepared an ebuild for a powerdot latex package, which is a presentation class for LaTeX that allows for the quick and easy development of professional presentations. The package is based on ha-prosper, but it was rewritten from scratch.

There is one problem with the attached ebuild: it requires an updated "xkeyval" package (at least version 2.5c). The problem is that "xkeyval" package is included in tetex-3, but the version is outdated.

A simple solution might be to remove the "xkeyval" package from the tetex-3 installation and provide it as an extra package by updating dev-tex/xkeyval package.

BR,
/ediap

Um... you guys don't need to remove xkeyval from tetex-3, just download xkeyval (http://tug.ctan.org/get?fn=/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval.zip) and unzip it in your ~/texmf/tex/latex directory and run texhash. It will take precedence over the xkeyval included with tetex-3

Hi,

I'm interested in the powerdot package, but it is not in my portage tree (december 2008).
Under development? Abandoned?

kind regards,

Klaas

You can mark this bug as Closed/Obsolete as powerdot is now in dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended
