letterspacing-1.0.0.ebuild
I have asked the author, Phil Taylor, about the licence issue. He says that the information on CTAN about the package (i.e. LPPL) is wrong. However, he is willing to re-think the licence. Stay tuned... Created attachment 70911 [details]

HOMEPAGE and SRC_URI have changed on CTAN.

New licence for the package
Phil has submitted a new version of letterspacing to CTAN today,
containing attached licence.
With the new licence, letterspacing.tex can be re-included in the main teTeX distribution; Thomas Esser has confirmed this. So there is no need for a separate letterspacing package. Resolving as Upstream. Reopening... it is not in tetex-3.0_p1 which was now announced to be the last tetex version. This is now in the Sunrise overlay. You can find it at: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/dev-tex/letterspacing/ letterspacing.tex is included in dev-texlive/texlive-genericrecommended. Therefore, I think that it makes sense to resolve this as WONTFIX, and also remove dev-tex/letterspacing from Sunrise. Alexis, any opinion?

It seems I hadn't seen this :) And totally agreed; unless we suddenly have half a dozen of new fresh blood willing to maintain single tex packages instead of reusing texlive's ones. As a side note, I try not to touch texlive*recommended packages because, well, they are recommended :) while i'm fine with removing stuff from texlive*extra and revive old ebuilds. (but this is just a matter of how much time I have and there is no technical problem with using single packages instead of texlive's collections) Removed from Sunrise. |
