Description Michal Jaegermann 2005-02-05 23:52:45 UTC

Description of problem:

After current rawhide updates we have:

$ rpm -qlvf /usr/bin/texi2pdf | sed -n /bin.texi2pdf/s'/.*t  *//p'
538 Jan 19 03:33 /usr/bin/texi2pdf
660 Feb  3 10:09 /usr/bin/texi2pdf

where these two scripts differ really only by an identifying header
comment.

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/texi2pdf
tetex-2.0.2-30
texinfo-4.8-1

If 'texi2pdf' is to be moved to 'texinfo' package then most likely
together with its manpage which, so far, shows only in a package
'tetex'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texinfo-4.8-1

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2005-02-07 09:52:57 UTC

Thanks.  Fixed in texinfo-4.8-2.

Comment 2 Vadim Nasardinov 2005-06-06 17:18:49 UTC

Tim,

Do you know what happened to /usr/bin/texi2pdf in tetex in FC4?  As of
texinfo-4.8-2, the texinfo package no longer ships texi2pdf.  However,
tetex doesn't ship it either:

 | $ rpm -q tetex
 | tetex-3.0-4
 | $ rpm -ql tetex | grep -c texi2pdf
 | 0

Neither do any of the tetex subpackages:

 | $ rpm -qa 'tetex*'
 | tetex-3.0-4
 | tetex-dvips-3.0-4
 | tetex-fonts-3.0-4
 | tetex-xdvi-3.0-4
 | tetex-latex-3.0-4
 | tetex-afm-3.0-4
 | $ ls -l /usr/bin/texi2pdf
 | ls: /usr/bin/texi2pdf: No such file or directory

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2005-06-06 17:30:38 UTC

Nope.  I just assumed tetex was going to be shipping it.

Jindrich?

Comment 4 Jindrich Novy 2005-06-07 12:35:22 UTC

Yep, texi2pdf is not shipped with tetex package, even if the tetex-3 tarball
contains local copy of texinfo. We should prefer separation of packages such as
texinfo from tetex as texinfo is developed indenendently on teTeX. When I
include texi2dvi, texi2pdf and friends to tetex, we need no more a separate
texinfo package, what we don't want.

The best solution from my point of view is to include texi2pdf to texinfo
package also for the reason that not all teTeX users need texi* utilities.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2005-06-07 13:36:44 UTC

Okay, added back in.  Thanks.

Comment 6 Michal Jaegermann 2005-06-08 19:50:16 UTC

Hm, so after all this too and fro we eneded up with texi2pdf in texinfo-4.8-5
but /usr/share/man/man1/texi2pdf.1.gz, which used to be owned by tetex,
disappeared completely.  It seems that 'texinfo' package would be a logical
place for it too.

Comment 7 Jindrich Novy 2005-06-09 09:14:50 UTC

Michal, /usr/share/man/man1/texi2pdf.1.gz isn't used to be included in tetex
package actually. Note that this man page has never been included in teTeX-1 and
is no more in teTeX since the first release of tetex-3.0. There's no texi2pdf
man page in the upstream texinfo tarball, because texi2pdf simply calls texi2dvi
--pdf to do the job.

Tim, feel free to grab the texi2pdf man page from tetex-2.0.2 because there
won't be any conflicts between tetex and texinfo or let me know and I'll mail it
to you.

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2005-06-09 10:48:16 UTC

Got it.

Comment 9 Michal Jaegermann 2005-06-09 15:45:41 UTC

> Michal, /usr/share/man/man1/texi2pdf.1.gz isn't used to be included in tetex

$ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/man1/texi2pdf.1.gz
tetex-2.0.2-21.3

At least for some versions of packaging (this is on FC3) the reality says
otherwise. :-)  /usr/bin/texi2pdf there is supplied by tetex-2.0.2-21.3 too.
You are correct the the current packages for upcoming FC4 do not include that
manpage.
