every time I emerge tetex, my language.dat file is overwritten... and I have to edit it to enable italian hyphenation... can this file be added to conf-protection ? or moved in etc ? bye Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Good idea. I'll consult with some other devs to work this out. In the meantime, just so I'm clear, can language.dat be placed in a local texmf? /usr/local/share/texmf for example?
Ok -- which language.dat do you want protected? I see several: /usr/share/texmf/source/latex/local/language.dat /usr/share/texmf/source/latex/platex/language.dat /usr/share/texmf/source/generic/babel/language.dat /usr/share/texmf/omega/lambda/base/language.dat /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/language.dat These may not be able to be config-protected; the architecture of the tetex ebuild may have to get more complicated to support multiple hyphenations, but perhaps we can do it.
Ok, I config protected: /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ Will close. Reopen if more directories need to be added. I chose not to protect Omega, as it seems to be fully uncommented as is and probably needs no adjustment.
