Anyway Raspbian is another distro based on Debian, and you probably haven't been this surprised since you heard the Pope is Catholic, but this time it actually makes some sense, since the R-Pi is another piece of hardware altogether, and this benefits from some special stunts, with the distro, but also with the software, e.g. the omxplayer which is optimized to play media and so. Now, after installing TeX Live, I compiled a LaTeX document and as expected, it asked for several .sty files with extentions and all kinds of stuff that wasn't there, despite TeX Live already a huge thing. What was unexpected tho was the program I had used on my Debian, tlmgr (TeX Live Manager?) - that program wasn't in the repositories, so I'd to track the files one by one - this sure wasn't easy, but with apt-file(1), I bagged it. The reason for this castling is supposedly the increased control of software that the distro people are exercising. Now everyone should know LaTeX is a HUGE world of software. Also LaTeX people are often more gentle and appreciative, and much less combative than the typical Lisp or C programmer... One has to wonder, how this plays out with the Emacs Lisp repositories, as 1) there is now way they can ever bring all that in, and 2) there has already been conflicts between the GNU and Debian projects over much minor issues. So my bet is, nothing will happen! -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 29 Blogomatic articles -
