Thanks for the upload, I installed the update to macros/latex/contrib/tclldoc and a link in macros/latex/contrib/tcldoc Note that the supported subdirectory does no longer exist, except as a link.

the demise of macros/latex/contrib/supported
by Robin Fairbairns 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

earlier this year, at a ctan planning meeting, we decided to abolish the distinction between supported and other packages installed under macros/latex/contrib the decision was made because we have watched the steady erosion of the distinction since 1994, when the sub-trees were created. for example, there were packages that plainly were supported installed under other/, while maintainers of packages installed under supported/ were unavailable to perform any maintenance. as of today, the subtrees of macros/latex/contrib have disappeared from the main ctan sites. the subtree directories other/ and supported/ will retain a shadowy (soft link) existence until the end of september 2003. (apart from the convenience of users for which addresses are memory-imprinted, the ctan team has still to complete the required changes to the catalogue: the uk faq will be up to date at its next release in a day or two).

CTAN submission -- fontinst
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Jul '03

16 Jul '03

----- Forwarded message from Lars Hellström ----- I have to ftp.dante.de uploaded an archive fontinst.tar.gz into /incoming. It contains the new fontinst release (v1.926), and the license is as usual the LPPL. I think the following will be the best course of action with this: .... 2. Place the archive contents in fonts/utilities/fontinst. 3. Delete the fontinst-prerelease hierarchy, and replace it with a link to its fontinst sibling. The reason for making a link is that there are are references to fontinst-prerelease here and there on the 'net, and it seems unnecessary to break them. .... Short quote from the README: Fontinst is a program that helps with installing fonts for (La)TeX. Since it is written entirely in TeX macros, it is completely portable. More precisely, fontinst helps mainly with the number crunching and shoveling parts of font installation. This means in practice that it creates a number of files which give the TeX metrics (and related information) for a font family that (La)TeX needs to do any typesetting in these fonts. Fontinst furthermore makes it easy to create fonts containing glyphs from more than one base font, taking advantage of e.g. expert font sets. Fontinst cannot examine files to see if they contain any useful information, nor automatically search for files or work with binary file formats; those tasks must normally be done manually or with the help of some other tool, such as the pltotf and vptovf programs. Lars Hellström ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version in CTAN:fonts/utilities/fontinst/ replacing the old version. For the time being, the link CTAN:fonts/utilities/fontinst-prerelease points to the new directory. -- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
