[Dev-luatex] beta 0.20.1 released

[Dev-luatex] beta 0.20.1 released

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

I have just uploaded the archives for luatex 0.20.1. This
is a bugfix release for wednesday's beta, and it fixes
the following issues:

* texlua was broken on Solaris because the some C header
   files were loaded in the wrong order.
* os.tmpdir() now accepts an argument, making it easier
   to use. It now generates more unique filenames when
   it is called repeatedly in one run.
* The --luaconly commandline switch is now documented
   in the --help text.
* The new extended hyphenation exceptions were severely
   broken.
* \pdfprotrudechars could cause luatex to abort with an
   assertion failure.
* There was a bug in the  \span code that could cause endless
   loops.
* The simple forms of \leaders were messed up on windows
   because a variable was not properly initialized.
* Non-grouped \textdir commands created invalid output.
* e-TeX's pseudo files were not closed properly in ini mode.
* The luatex.web now weaves properly again.
* I made some small improvements to the manual.

I have uploaded source and linux/win32 binaries to

      http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/

Have fun,

Taco

Hi Taco,

on my system (Mac OS X 10.5.1, ppc), this snapshot doesn't compile; it  
fails at this stage:

test -d luatexdir || mkdir luatexdir
sed s/TEX-OR-MF-OR-MP/luatex/ ../../../src/texk/web2c/lib/texmfmp.c  
 >luatexextra.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I../../../src/texk/web2c -I.. -I../../../src/

luatexextra.c: In function 'main':
luatexextra.c:408: error: storage size of 'sigstk' isn't known

Any ideas?

Thomas

That's odd, I believe the 'sigaltstack' code came from Jonathan Kew,
who is definately on a Mac himself. What was the previous beta you
compiled yourself, do you remember? Otherwise, maybe Arthur knows.

(The "struct sigaltstack" is supposed to be defined in the <signal.h>
header.)

Best wishes,
Taco

  I cross-compiled LuaTeX beta-0.20.0 for PPC Tiger yesterday (on my
Intel Mac Tiger).  No noticeable problems.  It's on the foundry.

  That's weird, it's a function there.  But it has not caused any
problems until now!

Debian sid users will get 0.20.1 soon by normal update.
Debian etch users can add
	deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/
	deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex/

This release of luatex for Debian ships an improved texdoc written in
texlua by Frank Küster. Please report any strange things to
	debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org

Thanks Taco!

Excuse my ignorance, but is it safe to use these sources for ubuntu gusty 
as well?

Safe for sure, but you have to check whether it compiles. It depends on
the version of libpoppler present in Ubuntu Gutsy.

For libpoppler 0.4.X (X <= 8) take the etch variant
For libpoppler 0.4.9 or 0.5.X you have to unpack the source package,
	change the debian/patches/series file to list the
	libpoppler-0.5 patch and comment the libpoppler-0.4 and -0.6
For libpoppler 0.6.X take the sid variant (available at the same
	location as the etch variant but with terminal
		luatex-sid
	instead of luatex)

Sorry for being of not so much help, but I don't have a gutsy around and
I never could find out which versions of Ubuntu ship which versions of
libraries.

Best wishes

Ubuntu gusty ships with libpoppler 0.6.2.1. However, I do not get any 
suggested updates because I am using amd64 architecture, and I see that 
you do not have amd64 packages on your website. I will wait for the new 
packages to trickle through to ubuntu repositories.

Ok, for you
	deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex-sid/
	deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ luatex-sid/

I will upload amd64 as soon as I can build them. In the meantime you can
do:

- add the above to /etc/apt/sources
- aptitude update
- apt-get source luatex
- cd luatex-0.20.1
- dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot -b
- cd ..
- dpkg -i luatex*.deb

Thank you. I needed to install a few packages (libpoppler-dev, quilt, 
fakeroot), and after that everything compiled correctly.

What is required for building a .deb file for amd64 for distribution. Can 
the luatex_0.20.1-1_amd64.deb that I built by the above process be used on 
other amd64 machines? If so, then maybe I can upload the file somewhere.

Aditya

Not surprising ;-)

Yes. You can send it to other Hardy users, or put it up somewhere. I
will build an amd64 version for Debian/sid
