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
Thanks. Fixed in texinfo-4.8-2.
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
Nope. I just assumed tetex was going to be shipping it. Jindrich?
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.
Okay, added back in. Thanks.
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.
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.
Got it.
> 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.
