The daemon told me yesterday:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: libertine-legacy Author's name: Bob Tennent Package version: 5.1.2 (2011-12-19) Location on CTAN: fonts/libertine-legacy/ Summary description: Linux Libertine fonts for TeX and pdfTeX users. License type: gpl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
From December 11, 2011, the libertine package supports only xetex and luatex users (opentype-format fonts). This package provides the last version that still supported tex and pdftex users (type 1 fonts). Except for a small number of directory and file re-namings to avoid conflicting with more recent distributions, the files in this package are identical to those of the libertine package version 5.1.2 distributed at CTAN before December 2011.
It is believed that this package can be installed and used as before, without conflicting with newer libertine packages, except that the latter have a dummy libertine.sty that should be deleted or avoided. Xetex and luatex users should use libertineotf.sty in the more recent libertine packages.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/libertine-legacy.htm... or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/libertine-legacy/
The catalogue entry will first appear (some time) overnight tonight.
