A better texdoc?

Tuesday, 27 December 2005 00:27 by CSchenk

Right now I am working on a new utility which shall replace the texdoc batch utility. The one big drawback in texdoc is that it often fails to locate package-related documentation. For example, the invocation

  texdoc memoir

doesn't work because the main documentation file is named memman.pdf.

The new utility (working title: mthelp) uses the package manager to locate package-related documentation, i.e.,

  mthelp memoir

opens memman.pdf for viewing.

I am still searching for a nice name.

MiKTeX Tools 2.5 Beta 3

Friday, 16 December 2005 09:38 by CSchenk

I have released a new version of MiKTeX Tools for Unix-like operating systems. This is a bug fix release:

  • The previous Beta installed files with permissions -rw-------. This has been changed to -rw-r--r--.
  • A GCC 3.x.x compilation issue has been fixed in the header file core.h.

MPM 2.5 to support .tar.bz2

Monday, 12 December 2005 09:58 by CSchenk
The MiKTeX package manager currently supports only Microsoft cabinet files. This makes it a little hard (impossible) to do packaging on a non-Windows system. Therefore, I have decided to implement in MiKTeX 2.5 support for bzip2 compressed tar files.
