1.5.68 for windows -- and more

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

LilyPond 1.5.68 has been made available.  Run setup to install:

    http://lilypond.org/cygwin/setup.exe

Oh, and teTeX has been updated.

Jan.

teTeX 20020530-2

NEWS:
   * New maintainer for tetex binaries.
   * New upstream release (20020530).
   * Shared object libraries for tetex binaries.
   * New package names: tetex-bin, tetex-base, tetex-extra, tetex-doc,
     tetex-tiny.
   * Binary package split up: tetex-bin, tetex-devel, libkpatsea3.
   * Included xdvi and mfw.

For a smooth upgrade, new upgrade helper packages are provided.  These
look like new versions of tetex-beta, texmf-base, texmf-extra,
texmf-doc and texmf-tiny, but in fact they're (almost) empty and
depend on their new counterpart package.  Doing an update installs the
`new versions' of your tex packages, but as they're empty, this
effectively removes the old tex installation.  Because the new
packages are automatically selected, you get a new tex installation.

CAVEATS:

   * Some care has been taken to treat config files specially.
     However, the previous packages did not do this, and if you don't
     want to risk losing changes you made, make backups first.
     (Does setup.exe have a framework for this; should we add it?  It
     would be good if setup.exe would offer choices and show diffs.)
     
   * TeTeX depends on quite a number of packages.  This should be
     handled automagically, but the old binary package lacked some of
     these requirements, which may still lead to missing programs and
     missing dlls.  For missing DLLs, you get a nice, annoying popup
     box, but missing programs may go unnoticed.  Any of the two may
     break your teTeX configuration.  See below for a list of required
     packages, and where to get DLLs.
     
   * The new tex suite should work flawlessly on a clean install.
     Upgrading may bring hairy problems, notably if the old
     binaries were not fully removed.  If you run into any problems,
     uninstall all tex packages, remove /usr/share/texmf, and try
     again.
     
   * After installation, /etc/postintall/post-texmf.sh[.done] get
     executed, to configure teTeX and generate the format files.
     If anything goes wrong, you may want to look at this script, or
     rerun it after you fixed stuff.

   * Xdvi and mfw need XFree86 to run, of course.  If you want that,
     install XFree86 by hand.  No automatic dependencies have been
     added for this.

   * Kpathsea has been patched to not search down UNC paths by
     default.  Problems with configuration settings may trigger
     searches into the `hosts' `//share' and `//texmf', which is not
     what you want.  If you're using TeX over the network, make sure
     your configuration is fixed, and set environment variable
     `KPSE_SEARCH_UNC'.


Requirements and DLLs.

TeTeX and LilyPond depend on a number of library packages, but as it
seems, they sometimes do not get selected automagically.

teTeX
  requires: ash cygwin ed grep jpeg libncurses6 libpng12 tiff sed
  termcap zlib
  
LilyPond
  requires: bash libguile14 libiconv2 libintl2 libkpathsea3
  python tetex-bin tetex-tiny


  DLL              Package
  cygguile-14.dll  libguile14 
  cygintl-2.dll    libintl2
  cygiconv-2.dll   libiconv2
  cygltdl-3.dll    libltdl3
  cygpcre.dll      pcre
  cygpng12.dll     libpng12
  cygtiff3.dll     tiff
