Hi,

You have overriden the lintian warning about the copyrighted fragment of
adobe.

After a double check they are some problem still

 t1disasm sktb10.pfb  | grep start
give some positive check from black book.

Please remove the lintian override. We are solving the problem with adobe
upstream.

Nevertheless your package should credit adobe for the following code. We will
open a mass bug after solving the license problem.

OK, fair enough. The RC bug (#717636) should probably be reassigned to
the package that ships the actual file (instead of the transitional
package), and its version information updated, but then that's not
your personal problem anyway => Cc'ing the bug report.

Cheers!

Well probably bug should be closed, because the new package is just
transitional package and doesn't have any source in it which was the
reason for this bug report.

What do you think?

Isn't it a transitional package depending on the one that now ships
the font? Isn't the font still affected by the problem this bug
is about?

Nope! The source of that package is pre XeLaTeX and no longer maintained
so it moves people to texlive-lang-indic.

Below is what aptitude show.

Package: latex-sanskrit
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 2014.20140821-1
Priority: optional
Section: tex
Maintainer: Debian TeX Maintainers <debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Uncompressed Size: 52.2 k
Depends: dpkg (>= 1.14.18), tex-common (>= 3), texlive-lang-indic (>= 2014.20140504)
Description: TeX Live: transitional dummy package
 This is a transitional package for latex-sanskrit to ensure proper upgrade to texlive-lang-indic. It can be safely removed after the
Homepage: http://www.tug.org/texlive/

Tags: culture::hebrew, made-of::font, role::app-data, use::typesetting, works-with-format::tex, works-with::text


So I assume closing is the right thing to do!.

Best Regards

On current sid, with texlive-lang-indic installed:

$ t1disasm /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/sanskrit/sktb10.pfb  | grep start
dup 3 {systemdict /internaldict known not {pop 3} {1183615869 systemdict /internaldict get exec dup /startlock known {/startlock get exec} {dup /strtlck known {/strtlck get exec} {pop 3} ifelse} ifelse} ifelse} executeonly put

... seems to indicate that the bug is still present.

Did I miss anything, or are we misunderstanding each other?

Below is mail snippet between me Jaldhar and Norbert, probably
recorded in texlive mailing list.
===========================================================================
Hi Vasudev,

Ok.

Sure. We will re-include the "sanskrit" part of TeX Live which
only ships the mf /pfb files and the source of the preprocessor.
latex-sanskrit.

If you think it is fine to drop the package completely without
any upgrade path, that is fine with me.

Otherwise we could build a transitional package "latex-sanskrit"
from texlive-lang that just depends on
        texlive-lang-indic
and be gone.

That way you don't have to request removal either, since it is
just a change of maintainer, and at the end will be removed
at some point.

Let me know your opinion and I will implement it for TL 2014,
(which will probably never enter Debian if we don't get a new libpng)
===================================================================

We acked to drop binaries and only ship required source as part of
texlive-lang-indic. So yes the bug still holds right but not sure if
it should be reassigned to texlive-lang src or kept on latex-sanskrit.
Also bug is ignored for jessie!.

Sorry for not including this earlier conversation. I had to re-read it
to understand the concept

Hi,

I could reproduce this today again in an up-to-date sid chroot. I see
that sktb10.pf is shipped by the texlive-lang-indic 2014.20141024-1
binary package.

Thanks.
installed by a binary package. Maybe there are plans to drop it, but
for the time being, it's there.

Well, the bug should be assigned to the binary package that ships the
buggy file, that is texlive-lang-indic. What exactly is making you
doubt that it should be the case?

(/me suspects there's still some misunderstanding going on..)

Cheers,

Control: reassign -1 texlive-lang-indic 2014.20141024-1
thanks

Since latex-sanskrit is now a transitional dummy package and
texlive-lang-indic is the package which is shipping the files which are
mentioned in this bug report, I'm hereby reassigning it to
texlive-lang-indic.

Cheers,
