TEX Live for
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.

متن کاملPutting the Cork back in the bottle— Improving Unicode support in TEX
Until recently, all of the hyphenation patterns available for different languages in TeX were using 8-bit font encodings, and were therefore not directly usable with UTF-8 TeX engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX. When the former was included in TeX Live in 2007, Jonathan Kew, its author, devised a temporary way to use them with XeTeX as well as the “old” TeX engines. Last spring, we undertook to c...

This paper explores new ways of doing input to and output from TEX. These new ways bypass our current habits, and provide fresh opportunities. Usually, TEX is run as a batch program. But when run as a daemon, TEX can be part of an interactive program. Daemons often that run forever, or at least for a long time. Hence the title of this paper. Usually, parsing and transformation of the input data...
