TEX Live for Debian
نویسنده
چکیده
TEX Live is a widely used TEX distribution incorporating most of the free (in the Debian sense) packages from CTAN, and binaries for many different architecture–operating system combinations. Debian GNU/Linux is a popular operating system distribution based on the Linux kernel, containing only free [3] programs. Like most distributions of the Linux flavor, Debian has a strong package managing facility. Since TEX Live is not packaged for any distribution (SuSE, Red Hat, . . . ), users and system administrators have the choice of either using the TEX system coming with the distribution, or installing TEX Live outside of the normal package management system. It has thus been a longstanding wish to package TEX Live for Debian, so that system administrators can install TEX Live like any other Debian package. This article describes a project in this direction.
