Bug 704630 – dev-tex/latex2html-2017.2 stabilization request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Felix Tiede 2020-01-03 08:05:53 UTC]

latex2html-2015 does no longer operate properly with current stable dev-lang/perl-5.30, breaking at least installation dev-tex/chktex.

The fix is a fairly simple escape of curly braces, included in latex2html-2017, which also properly finds L2hos, as is noted in bug #636344.

Keywording latex2html-2017* solved both issues for me.

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Jaak Ristioja 2020-01-15 14:01:07 UTC]

It seems that this not being stabilized continues to cause problems for users, e.g. bug #705476.

Please move forward with stabilization.

PS: Note that while dev-tex/latex2html-2017.2 is the latest in Gentoo, by now there have been 6 additional releases after latex2html-2017.2, with latex2html-2020 being the latest: https://github.com/latex2html/latex2html/releases
