Re: [Fink-devel] Update of doxygen fails ...

[jfm <jf...@jf...>]

Hi,

Last monday I sent a msg to the maintainer of doxygen,
saying that to build correctly with the new tetex, it was
sufficient to add :

PatchScript: <<
  mv doc/doxygen_manual.tex tmp
  sed 's\setlength\renewcommand\g' < tmp > doc/doxygen_manual.tex
<<

and that this was because doxygen_manual.tex relied
on an obsolete (since 96 !!!) version of fancyhdr.sty _ as
is well explained in fancyhdr.sty itself.

I was away for the rest of the week, and when returning I see a
large amount of mail on the lists concerning the subject _
apparently my msg never reached the maintainer _ and that
instead of this little patch, fink effectively downgrades our
version of fancyhdr.sty to that of 95 !

In addition, shouldn't the 'Depends' on fancydr not have been a
BuildDepends ? This is just to build the documentation....
Or do I miss something ?

But I would think it is much better to patch this package rather
than to downgrade other, important, latex packages _ and this
to an 8 year's old version...
