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)

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?

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.

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