Hello!
Now, some weeks before the release of Breezy I checked the package
list and saw, that Breezy ships only with teTeX-2.0.2 again. Why?
teTeX-2.0.2 was released on 1. March 2003 and is completely
outdated. teTeX-3.0 was released on 6. February 2005 and isn't that
current anymore, too. But much better than teTeX-2.0.2 that ships
e.g. with pdfTeX-1.10b which lacks some important features (not to
mention all the outdated packages!). Current version of pdfTeX is
1.30.3 (teTeX-3.0 ships with 1.21a-2.2).
I already asked in March 2005 for teTeX-3.0 in Hoary. But Hoary was
already frozen. Now Breezy is frozen and teTeX-3.0 won't find it's
way to Breezy anymore. What does it mean? Is there no interest in
TeX users? Just let me know, because I'm migrating all machines here
from Debian to Ubuntu (most work already done =/). But we are all
TeX users ... (yes, I know there are teTeX-3.0 packages in Debian; I
intensely tested it.). BTW: It would be a pity if there was no
interest in TeX users because we like Ubuntu very much here. Good work!
Best regards,
Christoph
