Description Thomas Heinz 2009-04-15 12:08:18 UTC

mathtools seems to be missing in the gentoo texlive ebuilds whereas it was included in some tetex ebuild. I suppose it should be included in the dev-texlive/texlive-mathextra ebuild. In Debian e.g. it is included in their "texlive-math-extra" package: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=mathtools.sty&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any

Do you have plans to add it or what are the reasons for it not to be included?

Reproducible: Always

In the 2007 version, the mh package (which contains mathtools.sty) was included.  The upstream repository still holds it, so I think this is an error.  Alexis, will you readd mh to the TEXLIVE_MODULES or has the omission happened on purpose?

Yes its done on purpose; we've had to add a dev-tex/mh package back in the days because some package was needing an updated version. As it's in a texlive-*extra package I've removed it there so that we avoid duplication.

Short: if you need mathtools.sty, please install dev-tex/mh

Thanks for the information. I have overlooked dev-tex/mh.
