[formatfile=file.cnf[=n]]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installtex is a debhelper program that is responsible for updating
the ls-R databases, registering map files, new formats, and new
hyphenation patterns with TeX.
Your package should depend on an appropriate version of tex-common so
that the update-* commands are available. (This program adds that
dependency to ${misc:Depends}.)
WARNING This program does not check for the actual existence of any
input files in TEXMF trees. If you call it without any further
specification on which packages to work on (using "-p" or "-N") it will
add calls to management functions to all packages. In this case don’t
forget to add ${misc:Depends} to all packages’ dependencies.
SIMPLE USAGE: Registering Files
If you only install files into /usr/share/texmf and want to be sure
that mktexlsr is called in a correct way (e.g., also in the postrm
script when there is no functional mktexlsr), simply call
dh_installtex
COMPLEX USAGE: Registering fonts, hyphenation patterns and formats
If in addition, you have to install map files, hyphenation patterns for
additional languages, or format definitions you can use three different
methods to specify what should be installed:
1) Pre made config files: These files can be specified with the
different typefile= options, together with an optional priority. type
can be one of map, format and hyphen, and these files will be installed
into /etc/texmf/configdir/ for the respective type (updmap.d for map
files, hyphen.d for hyphenation pattern files, and fmt.d for format
files).
Example:
dh_installtex mapfile=foo.cfg formatfile=debian/bar.cnf=42
would install foo.cfg as /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20foo.cfg, and
debian/bar.cnf as /etc/texmf/fmt.d/42bar.cnf.
2) Directly on the cmd line: You can specify maps, formats, and
hyphenations on the cmd line. The items are stored in the respective
config file 20package
Example:
dh_installtex map=Map,foo.map hyphen=french,loadhyph-fr.tex,lhm=2,rhm=3,synonym=patois,synonym=francais
would install a file /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20package.cfg containing the
line
Map foo.map
and a file /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/20package.cnf containing the lines
name=french file=loadhyphen-fr.tex lefthyphenmin=2 righthyphenmin=3 synonyms=patois,francais
3) Package files: You create a file debian/package.maps or debian/maps,
debian/package.hyphens or debian/hyphens, debian/package.formats or
debian/formats. These files are installed with default priority and the
name of the package. Each of these files will be installed into the
first package dh_installtex is told to act on. By default this is the
first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a
flags, it will be the first package specified by those flags.
Example:
dh_installtex
would install a present debian/package.maps file as
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/20package.cfg.
Mixing the different variants
The command line items (Variant 2) are merged into the
debian/package.maps (debian/package.hyphens, debian/package.formats)
file and the merged file is installed as 20package.cfg/cnf. If you
specify an additional package.cfg/cnf (Variant 1) without a different
priority than the default one on the cmd line, this will raise an error
since both files would be installed as 20package.cfg/cnf. You can only
specify package.cfg/cnf without a different priority than the default
one if no debian/package.maps nor any command line Map files are
present.
The pseudo-comment
If the provided cfg files do not contain the pseudo-comment as
described in the Debian TeX Policy, Font configuration, an additional
header with explanation, warning and the pseudo-comment is added.
This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands
needed to register the fonts with TeX. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
explanation of how this works.
OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
--priority=n
Set the default priority to n instead of 20.
--flavor=flavor[,flavor]
This option will be used to switch additional options on. The
argument specify a list from flavors to be selected. At the moment
you can select from the following list of flavors:
map:config_for_active_maps, map:config_for_all_maps,
format:build_all, format:add_one:formatname, and lsr:full.
map:config_for_active_maps will create a file config.bar for each
active (i.e. uncommented) map in each of the cfg file generated by
one of the three methods described above. These files are installed
in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/.
If you select map:config_for_all_maps the script will generate
config.bar even for those map files which are present in a cfg
file, but deactivated by a comment.
The file config.bar is used when called by ‘dvips -Pbar ...’. Thus
it allows the activation of single map files even if they are not
automatically activated via the updmap(-sys) mechanism.
Default is not to generate any config files.
format:build_all will add code to the postinst script to create all
defined formats, and to the postrm script to clean and recreate?
FIXME? the generated formats.
format:add_one:formatname allows to add the generation of a
specific format without actually providing it (in a cnf file).
This is useful if a package adds hyphenation patterns to an
existing formats.
format:no_links: Usually, for every format that is specified in a
configuration file in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/, dh_installtex will create
a symlink /usr/bin/format that points to the corresponding engine.
For example, /usr/bin/latex would be created as a symlink to
pdftex.
The flavor format:no_links inhibits this. If a link already exists,
dh_installtex will skip this format with an informational message,
even if this option is not given.
lsr:full: Recreate the lsr database not only for the standard
trees, but also the distribution tree "/usr/share/texmf-texlive".
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be
called between invocations of this command, unless using the -n option.
Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added
to maintainer scripts.
Please refer to the Debian TeX policy for details about fonts
configuration for TeX by Debian packages.
