README for project latex-tds

1. Project latex-tds

Bundle `latex-tds' provides a set of ZIP file modules containing TDS-compliant trees for items of the LaTeX distribution (both the base system and required packages), together with `user-friendly' documentation (PDF files with navigation support using bookmarks and links).

Version:: 2014/11/12
Author:: Heiko Oberdiek
Email and bug report address:: heiko.oberdiek at googlemail.com
CTAN home page with distribution files:: CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/latex-tds/
Source repository (without distribution files):: https://github.com/oberdiek/latex-tds

1.1. How it has started

The project started as I wanted to install the new LaTeX release 2005/12/01 that was announced at 2006/04/27. However the files are not packed in TDS format, ready for unpacking in the destination directory. And the documentation files were not yet generated or the provided PDF files are lacking of basic features such as bookmarks or link support. Thus this project has started. I thought it could be finished during the afternoon at the day of the announcement …

1.2. Goals of the project

From the sources a TDS compliant tree is constructed and populated. The zipped result is distributed.
All the documentation is generated from the sources. The PDF files are user friendly and provide navigational support with bookmarks and links.
The PDF files are post-processed to reduce the file size.

1.3. Scope

I do not have the time to assemble a TeX distribution with thousands of packages. Therefore I restricted myself to the LaTeX base distribution and the required bundles. In the following I will use the term ‘module’ for a package bundle.

1.4. Module list

The link addresses are the sources for the modules.

3. Download

The home of the project is located at:

CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/latex-tds/

The following files can be downloaded:

README, README.html, README.pdf: The README file in different formats.
<module>.tds.zip: The module distribution files, see section ‘Module list’ above for the available modules.
source.tds.zip: The sources, mainly the build script, configuration and driver files, and patches. Some of the used tools are not provided, see section ‘Build Hints’.
latex-tds.tds.zip: The universe, the contents of all the ZIP files above, merged together.

4. Installation Hints

Hopefully the result of this project helps you in the installation process. You get a TDS compliant tree just by unpacking.

Example:

  cd /some/where/texmf
  unzip latex-tds

or unzip’s option -d:

  unzip latex-tds -d /some/where/texmf

Instead of the universe ZIP file single modules can be selected.

Important to remember, point your unpack process right in the root directory of your TDS tree. The directory structure in the ZIP files start with the top-level directories:

  doc/latex/base/...
  tex/latex/tools/...
  source/...

Rationale: The root directory of a TDS tree can have different names, such as texmf-dist, texmf-local, …

4.1. Hints

Refresh the file name database.
Be aware that unpacking can insert and update files, but never deletes obsolete ones. Remainders of previous releases can cause trouble.
Depending on the module further installation steps can be necessary, consult the module’s own documentation.

4.1.1. Module base

The default texsys.cfg that LaTeX provides is put into TDS:tex/latex/base. It must be removed, if you need a specialized version. Consult your TeX distribution and TDS:doc/latex/base/source2e.pdf (module ltdirchk). Usually changes are not required for many TeX distributions such as Unix (web2c), MikTeX, …
Formats need rebuilding (e.g., fmtutil).

4.1.2. Module psnfss

The map files need further configuring (e.g., updmap).

4.1.3. Module graphics

Module graphics does not provide all driver files, because some are developed independently (pdftex.def, …).

7. Design Principles

Compliance with the latest TDS specification.
No redundancy.
User friendly PDF files with navigational support:
- bookmarks
- links
Complete documentation. The documentation generation with enhanced PDF files is the tricky part and should be saved from the user.
Output format of generated documentation is PDF, see above. Other formats such as DVI or PS are not generated and provided.
Documentation bundles are preferred to many partial documentation files (e.g. source2e.pdf or ltnews.pdf).
If several expansion stages of a documentation are available, then just the most complete expansion stage should be used.
Files that do not fit in a program sub tree of TDS stay below TDS:source (e.g. latexbug.el from latex/base). Then they do not get lost at least.
Page layout: a4paper with reduced vertical margins (exception: ltnews). (This also decreases the page number usually.)
…

8. Remarks

8.1. Base

source2e.pdf is used instead of many single lt*.pdf files.
ltnews.pdf is introduced to avoid cluttering the doc directory with many single sheet ltnews*.pdf files.
Patch for ltfssdcl.dtx: Checksum fixed.
…

8.2. Tools

Added: tools.pdf as overview/contents/index file with links and short descriptions of the single packages. (It uses the data from manifest.txt).
…

8.3. Knuth

Current CTAN → TDS mapping in use: CTAN:systems/knuth/dist → TDS:<toplevel>/knuth
Unsure where to put trip/trap files. Currently they are put in TDS:source, because the documentation files (tripman.pdf, trapman.pdf) are in TDS:doc. They lists the trip/trap files already.

Not covered is CTAN:systems/knuth/dist/lib/ In TeX Live 2007/2008 the files are installed at different locations:

texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo10.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo8.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo9.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logobf10.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logo.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/mflogo/logosl10.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/grayf.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/manfnt.mf
texmf-dist/fonts/source/public/misc/slant.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/base/expr.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/base/io.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/base/null.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/base/plain.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/3test.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/6test.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/rtest.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/test.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/waits.mf
texmf-dist/metafont/misc/ztest.mf
texmf-dist/mft/base/cmbase.mft
texmf-dist/mft/base/plain.mft
texmf-dist/tex/generic/misc/null.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/manmac.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/mftmac.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/plain.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/story.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/testfont.tex
texmf-dist/tex/plain/base/webmac.tex
texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/hyphen.tex

8.4. e-TeX

Only the manual ‘etex_man’ is covered by this module.

9. Build Hints

The most important advice I can give: ‘Forget it’! The purpose of the source files are rather to show, what was done in which way. The *.zip with TDS trees are the goal of the project, not the build process. Some remarks, if someone wants to build the modules himself:

TeX compiler: LuaTeX and pdfTeX (≥ 1.30).
An up-to-date LaTeX installation, at least TeX Live 2012.
Additional packages can be necessary, e.g. CTAN:language/armenian/armtex.zip is not part of TeX Live 2012.
Most of the PDF files are generated using lualatex and package ‘fontspec’ that uses the Latin Modern fonts as default. They are available as OpenType fonts. LuaTeX generates with OpenType fonts considerably smaller PDF files. Also PDF object stream compression is used (PDF 1.5). Therefore the further post-processing of PDF files are currently dropped.
(Outdated since 2011-07-01) PDF post-processing, I have used two steps:
1. First step:
  
  I have written a tool that analyzes page stream contents and optimizes them (removal of unnecessary color settings, minimize translation operations, …) → pdfbox-rewrite.jar.
  
  For reading and writing the PDF file I have used PDFBox → PDFBox-0.7.2.jar (http://pdfbox.apache.org/).
  
  To get better results I patched some of the classes of PDFBox (especially the write module) → pdfbox-rewrite.jar.
2. The final conversion step was done by Multivalent, because it makes a very good job in PDF compression: → Multivalent20060102.jar (http://multivalent.sourceforge.net/)
Multivalent and PDFBox are available, pdfbox-rewrite.jar, however, is just a first prototype, not ripe for a release. Therefore this step of post-processing is optional for the project latex-tds. The build script looks for the library and skips this steps automatically if necessary. If you give the build script the option --nopostprocess, then it will skip the postprocess steps (building is faster, the pdf files a little larger). Install the jar files in the directory lib where they are expected by the build script.
Unix, Perl background is expected.
No support or documentation.
