* moving files from /usr/share/doc/texmf to /usr/share/texmf/doc
when using dh_installtex:
- please Build-depend on tex-common (>= 4.01)
- install the files in /usr/share/texmf/doc
no further steps are necessary, dh_installtex automatically adds
the necessary dependencies (either >= 4 if /usr/share/texmf/doc
is present in the package, otherwise >= 3)

tex-common (4.00) experimental; urgency=low
* documentation file changes:
the link from /usr/share/texmf/doc to /usr/share/doc/texmf
is dropped. That means that the documentation of packages putting
them into /usr/share/doc/texmf will not be found by texdoc
anymore. Package should be rebuild with an added dependency
on tex-common (>= 4~) and put documentation to be found by texdoc
into /usr/share/texmf/doc (according to TDS standard), and other
docs into /usr/share/doc/$package, but nothing into /usr/share/doc/texmf

tex-common (3.7) unstable; urgency=low
* updmap file handling changed
For users:
If you are using PostScript fonts that are not packaged for
Debian, some changes have been done: updmap now reads *all*
updmap.cfg files it finds. That means, the easiest way to
activate local fonts (in TEXMFLOCAL) by putting the respective
map lines into /usr/local/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg, and
call updmap-sys once (as root). If you have fonts in your
home directory you want to activate, paralleling the above
you put the respective map line into $HOME/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
and call updmap (as user). But be reminded that you have to
do that everytime system fonts have changed (there is no
automatic syncronization between user specific and system wide
updmap(-sys) generated files).
For developers:
Since version 3 of tex-common, which conincides and requires
TeX Live 2011 and upward, updmap now behaves differently then
before: It reads *all* available updmap.cfg files. That means
that the handling of updmap.d snippets in /etc/texmf/updmap.d
has changed. Packages rebuild with tex-common >= 3 will not
install anything in this directory.
Old, especially Debian external, font packages that still use
the old (updmap.d) mechanism are (as of 3.7) still supported,
but with warnings. Please rebuild these packages with a newer
tex-common.

tex-common (1.8) unstable; urgency=low
* Manually reinstalling removed conffiles
Due to a bug in the postrm script of tetex-base in etch, purging this
package removes essential configuration files of texlive
packages. tex-common is also affected, because tetex-base removed
/etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf. This file isn't strictly needed, but it
is very much recommended that you reinstall it. You can find a copy
in /usr/share/tex-common/.

tex-common (1.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Filename database in $TEXMFHOME is no longer created and updated
The ls-R filename database in $TEXMFHOME, $HOME/texmf, is no longer
created in new installs, and also not updated by default. This makes
sense unless you have a very large number of files installed in that
tree.
However, you MUST remove the old file $HOME/texmf/ls-R in order to
allow TeX to find new files in that hierarchy!
* Backwards compatibility hacks dropped
In etch, some tools and search paths still supported obsolete paths
and invocations. These backwards compatibility hacks, most notably to
the *-sys tools and font search paths, have now been dropped.
* The parse-first-line feature is now enabled by default, in order to
allow MetaPost to call TeX with different formats. Only when invoked
as "teX" it is disabled to remain Knuth-compatible.

tex-common (0.26) unstable; urgency=low
* New font cache handling
The font cache handling has been reworked completely. By default, a
separate font cache is kept for each user. If you want to re-enable
site-wide caching, see the instructions in README.Debian. On systems
where $HOME is not writable, fonts will be temporarily cached in
/tmp/texfonts.
* Breakage with TeXLive
The texlive packages as of version 2005-2 do not automatically create
a user's TEXMFVAR directory for font caching. This might break
document processing in some configurations. Simply create the
directory $HOME/.texmf-var manually to fix this.
