Bug 201051 – app-text/texlive-core install files that should be installed from app-text/dvipdfmx

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jie Luo 2007-12-03 05:42:09 UTC]

There are some files that should be part of app-text/dvipdfmx that is being installed by app-text/texlive-core. That will cause duplicated file being installed when dvipdfmx is installed. Here is a list of files related to dvipdfmx package that is installed by texlive-core.

/etc/texmf/dvipdfm.d
/etc/texmf/dvipdfm.d/dvipdfmx.cfg
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/EUC-UCS2
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/README
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/UniKSCms-UCS2-H
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/UniKSCms-UCS2-V
/usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx.cfg
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/dvipdfmx/cid-x.map

If we choose to not install these files in dvipdfmx, then it will not be able to work with tetex. And according to the standard, EUC-UCS2, UniKSCms-UCS2-H and UniKSCms-UCS2-V are cmap files which should be in texmf/fonts/cmap.

And also app-text/dvipdfmx ebuild also should change to follow the current convention, the config file should install into /etc/texmf/dvipdfm.d/dvipdfmx.cfg. The glyphlist.txt file is a map file which should be installed into texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/glyphlist/.

The following files are also related to dvipdfmx, but I think it should be installed by texlive-core.

/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/tetex
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/tetex/cm-dvipdfm-fix.map
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/dvipdfm35.map
/usr/share/texmf/lists/bin-dvipdfmx
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/dvipdfmx
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx.def
/usr/share/texmf/tpm/bin-dvipdfmx.tpm

I have done some test, it seams that removing bin-dvipdfmx from TEXLIVE_BASICBIN_CONTENTS will remove all files related to dvipdfmx. I noticed that bin-dvipdfm is not include, maybe we should do the some thing to bin-dvipdfmx. The only file that are not being installed by dvipdfmx is dvipdfmx.def. This file are in the recent version (dvipdfmx-20071115), named as dvipdfmx.def.sample. But maybe copy it from texlive-core is just fine. I will attached as new ebuild for dvipdfmx.

Sorry, dvipdfmx.def is not in dvipdfmx package. But it can be found in dvipdfmx CVS.

I've removed bin-dvipdfmx from texlive-core, as it's not built here, there is not much sense to install those files.
I've bumped dvipdfmx applying more or less your patches, it runs ok here; please report it if you're having any issue with it.


Thanks for the report on this, if you find more stuff included in texlive that doesnt make sense, please report it ;)
