texlive-2014_error.tex

In dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic present very useful package ESKDX.
One command, used in it, was changed and removed from base packages.

After stabilization of =app-text/texlive-2014 (see bug #550840) I was very unpleased finding some documents broken (compillation failed with new version).

The error message:
! Undefined control sequence.
\ESKDcolumnXVIname ->\No 
                         \ \cyr \cyrd \cyro \cyrk \cyru \cyrm .
l.5 \begin{document}


Minimal example file, demonstrating this error in attach.

texlive-2014_eskdx.patch

Attaching patch, fixes this issue for Russian language.

I'm not familiar with texlive development, so I'm not shure this patch is completely corerct.
But it (or something similiar) should follow ESKD package in texlive-langcyrillic-2014 installations.

could you please contact the package author to propose your patch ?
see the ctan page: https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eskdx

I'm all for applying your patch if it fixes a problem, but I prefer to have some feedback from those that know best before doing so

You can easely configm this bug.
To do it just build =app-text/texlive-2014 with LINGUAS="ru" (i.e. =dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic-2014) and try to compile attached example.

To confirm fix you need just to re-emerge =dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic-2014 with applying suggested (and attached) patch and re-compile attached example.

Then you might want to contact CTAN people, or try to upload a fixed package. See:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/188430/publishing-a-package-update-on-ctan

https://www.ctan.org/upload?lang=en


(note: maybe the author has a new email address and forgot to update this package, ctan people might know better)

I believe you, it's just I prefer to go the proper way with such changes and getting the patch through people that know best (package author, ctan people), and that I don't consider myself qualified for reviewing a change in a CTAN package I have never used before :)
