The Debian TeX sub-policy
<br>Chapter 2 - Terms and Definitions
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
The following terms are used in this document:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>TeX-related package</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Any Debian package that uses or provides parts of the TeX infrastructure, i.e.
the TeX or Metafont program or derivatives thereof, fonts or input files in a
<var>TEXMF</var> tree, etc.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><code>tex-common</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>
This package provides basic infrastructure and some configuration files for all
TeX-related packages, including the <code>configuration update programs</code>.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>Basic TeX packages</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A Basic TeX package is a Debian package that provides the basic infrastructure
for TeX-related programs. It should provide sufficient functionality for
typesetting most generated (La)TeX code, e.g. from docbook, debiandoc, or
texinfo sources. Usually, the Basic TeX packages will be divided into an
architecture-dependent and an architecture-independent package.
</p>
<p>
The arch-dependent package must provide at least one binary that is fully
compatible with Donald E. Knuth's original TeX program, and it should provide
the original TeX itself. The output formats <samp>dvi</samp>, PostScript and
Adobe PDF must be available, either directly or by conversion of other output
formats. The arch-independent package must provide at least the files
necessary to create the formats for plain TeX and LaTeX and the input files
required by the LaTeX distribution, as well as the Computer Modern fonts.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>TDS</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The TeX Directory Structure, which describes file placement for TeX input
files. The current version of the TDS is installed with this document as
<code><a href="file:///usr/share/doc/tex-common/tds.pdf">tds.pdf</a></code> and
<code><a href="file:///usr/share/doc/tex-common/tds.html">tds.html</a></code>.
The latest version of the TDS is available at <samp><code><a
href="http://www.tug.org/twg/tds/">http://www.tug.org/twg/tds/</a></code></samp>.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt><var>TEXMF</var> tree</dt>
<dd>
<p>
One directory tree, arranged according to the TDS
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>TeX input file</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A file that is meant to be used by a TeX-related program; technically any file
that can be found by the <code>/kpathsea/kpse</code> library. This includes
e.g. Type1 font files.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>configuration update programs</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The configuration information from files provided by different TeX-related
packages must be merged and made available in appropriate form to the various
programs. This is usually done by scripts that write files into the
<var>TEXMFSYSVAR</var> tree.
</p>
<p>
Currently, the configuration update programs provided by
<code>tex-common</code> are: <code>update-texmf</code>,
<code>update-fmtutil</code>, <code>update-language</code>,
<code>update-updmap</code>.
