[arch-dev-public] TeXLive 2017 packages are now available in [testing]
Hello, TexLive 2017 has been released at the beginning of the month and is now packaged in [testing]. No particular issue is expected when upgrading to this release. Note that a few packages disappear in this release, following upstream changes in structure: * texlive-genericextra (merged in texlive-core) * texlive-htmlxml (merged in texlive-core and formatsextra) * texlive-plainextra (merged in texlive-core) Pacman hooks for TeXLive, which were in texlive-bin, are now in texlive-core, which should fix bugs like FS50238, FS20423 and FS51918. I expect to move them to [extra] early July. Happy TeXing, Regards, Rémy.

I noticed one minor issue. The dblatex package still depends on texlive-htmlxml which currently prevents dblatex users from upgrading TeXLive. There are also some packages with makedepends on the obsolete packages mentioned above. The two obvious options are: * Make the replacements of texlive-genericextra, texlive-htmlxml and texlive-plainextra provide the obsolete packages. * Update the dependencies of all affected packages and make sure we move them from [testing] together with TeXLive 2017. Of course, a combination of both approaches is possible as well. What do you suggest? Regards, Lukas

Texlive-core already provides genericextra and plainextra. Formatsextra conflicts with htmlxml but does not provide it (htmlxml is split between core and formatsextra). I could say that formatsextra provides texlive-html, since it depends on core anyway, so installing it is enough. Let me do that. Regards, Rémy.

The packages will now move to [extra]. Please report any issue. Regards, Rémy.
