Does I miss any package after the split/slimming of the packages?

There should not be any change with the split core / bin. But I apologize in advance if I made a blunder ...
Do you use the standard texlive packages or the svn branch? Could you send me a minimal example with log file, and the list of texlive packages (with version numbers) installed on your system?

lessthanjake · 2007-12-05 09:45:57

Ops, false alarm. Somhow I have changed \pagenumbering{roman} to \pagenumbering{blank} late yesterday night, I'm apparantly workin to late. And since \tableofcontents is the only command produsing output before \pagenumbering{arabic} commenting \tableofcontents seemed to fix the problem, and I was fooled!

Sorry!

If you look at the install script for texlive-core you'll see the line

but unfortunately this does not work

hit me
is it perhaps like that because that source'ing isbeeing called in a subshell/-process that does not affect the parental shell that called the installation-process at first? or how is that after-install-script executed by pacman?

This is exactly my impression, but we should ask the pacman devs about that, since I don't know much about its internals. In any case, giving the full paths to the executables in the install script circumvents the problem.

Firmicus,

Thanks a lot for doing this. TeX Live and LyX are playing nicely together.

anyone know something like kile, but gtk based?

winefish (based on bluefish) <http://winefish.berlios.de>. You can also try the latex plugin for gedit <http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/LaTeXPlugin>. I think both are in AUR.

lloeki · 2007-12-06 11:00:00

thanks, I'll use the gedit plugin. btw, I find the IDE approach (kile, winefish, gedit plugin, vi, emacs) much more efficient and relevant than the 'frontend' one (lyx, and on an entirely different world, msword&likes).

but maybe that's me and my developer habits

Hello everyone,

As some of you may have noticed, the SVN branch of texlive is now (almost entirely) available in [community]

There were some file conflicts yesterday, but thanks to Attila the problems have been identified, so that you should be able for example to install the group texlive-most-svn without problem.

The packages reflect the state of CTAN ca. a week ago and are based on the TeXLive svn repo of two days ago, so they are really bleeding edge

The texlive-lang-*-svn packages are not yet included, but as they have probably hardly changed since February, this is not a big issue. Also I don't have enough time to take care of the documentation packages as well, so please consult the documentation on CTAN. Sorry!

Don't forget that you can now also use Flyspray to report bugs with community packages!

I have used the package fullpage, which used to work on tetex, but now I get this error:

File fullpage.sty not found

I'm not really experienced with LaTeX, so I don't really know what to do about it.
Thanks!

lessthanjake · 2007-12-06 16:56:37

You need to install texlive-latexextra.

I have it installed already...

Also:

>locate fullpage.sty
/opt/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/preprint/fullpage.sty

Try with installing texlive-latexextra.
(On the TeXLive Wiki page there's a link to the documentation online. When you do a search for fullpage there, you'll find that it is part of the package 'preprint'. When you then search for 'preprint' on the wiki you end up on the description for the texlive-latexextra package.)

HTH,
Andreas

Edit: You're too fast for me. I'll leave this posted, tho so that the procedure is there for future reference.

does that happen even after issuing 'mktexlsr' on the command line again?

Thanks awagner, that did the trick!

hi,

i am still getting this kind of warnings:
./test.tex:0: pdflatex (file /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `pcrb8y' already exists, duplicates ignored

any idea? by the way, thanks for this great work guys!

You can ignore it.

Note to all texlive users: I will be travelling until shortly before Xmas so I'll probably be unable to provide help or bugfixes during this period. You are welcome to use Flyspray to submit bug reports

Cheers, F

I'd like to try out the *-svn packages, but I'm having issues... I get file conflicts everywhere, it seems as if the non-svn packages' files don't get properly replaced by the new ones. Is it safe to use the -f flag? I'd rather not in fact..
I also got some errors about a missing directory, but they all don't appear in my pacman.log (because installation was aborted?). And I just spent fifteen minutes fixing some error in updmap.cfg so I'm not trying again now. Does anyone have any insights?

Save the files which you have been changed and than there be two ways at the moment. I'm sure in the future Firmicus will get this "existing files problem" under control.

First way if you have installed with "pacman -S texlive-most" (or more groups):

pacman -Rd texlive-most && pacman -S texlive-most-svn

Second way if you installed it without the use of any group:

pacman -Q | grep texlive | cut -f 1 -d ' ' > texlive_packages.save
pacman -Rd $(pacman -Q | grep texlive | cut -f 1 -d ' ')
pacman -S "the content of texlive_packages.save"

I have removed the map files pcr8y.map, phv8y.map, ptm8y.map from my updmap.cfg and run updmap; now I don't get any warnings.
bests

@jano Thanks a lot for your hint to get a correct updmap.cfg but this doesn't works for me. It seems that his depends on the used fonts .. what a wonder

Thanks, that worked. I didn't know about the "d" flag for -R, I didn't try this method because without the "d" flag it wanted to remove a lot of packages, some from AUR which I should all rebuild then...

I also have the warnings with pdftex though:

./casimir_force.tex:0: pdflatex (file /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `psyr' already exists, duplicates ignored
./casimir_force.tex:0: pdflatex (file /opt/texlive/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): fontmap entry for `pzdr' already exists, duplicates ignored}

I hope a fix gets out soon.

hey,

how can i use the AUR foiltex package with texlive?

when i try to compile a latex document with "\documentclass[titlepage]{foils}" in kile, i get the following message: "./chemie-foile.tex:2:File `foils.cls' not found. ^^M"

someone may help me, thanks in advance

f.

bender02 · 2007-12-17 20:38:18

Just edit the PKGBUILD for foiltex which is the AUR, and replace "$startdir/pkg/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/foils" by "$startdir/pkg/opt/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/foils" (2 occurences). Don't forget to run "mktexlsr" after the installation (as root).

I am gonna ask the one stupidest question on these forums, but what is TeX, teTeX, TeXLive????
