Please backport tex-common 3.13 (main) from quantal

[Mitsuya Shibata]

Please backport tex-common 3.13 (main) from quantal to precise.

Reason for the backport:
========================
12.04 and squeeze uses TeX based on TeXLive 2009,
compared with quantal/wheezy based on TeXLive 2012.

12.04/squeeze package(2009) is well maitained but very old.
Especially CJK suppot was extremely improved at TeXLive 2011,
many Japanese users want to use TeXLive 2012 on 12.04 LTS.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise tex-common

* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] tex-common installs cleanly and runs

-> but not use ppa. to check big reverse-deps, i used pbuilder and own repository.

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of tex-common. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new tex-common. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new tex-common installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

[Mitsuya Shibata (cosmos-door)]

tex-common is core compornent to build TeXLive packages.
Therefore, it seems that following packages are need
to backport at same time.

---
texlive-base texlive-bin texlive-doc texlive-lang texlive-extra
cm-super jadetex latex-cjk-chinese-arphic latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab
lmodern tipa luatex tex-gyre fonts-tlwg musixtex latex-sanskrit
context scalable-cyrfonts cjk m-tx, pmx bibtool catdvi dvi2dvi dvi2ps
dvipsk-ja lcdf-typetools vflib3 xdvik-ja

I made test repository for amd64.
http://kvps-27-34-161-33.secure.ne.jp/tl2012/README.txt

It was tested with above repository:
- Can install texlive-full package on clean 12.04.1.
- Can upgrade above system to quantal.

This is very big transition.
I'm not sure that many depends packages can backportable,
I would appreciate it if you could give me advice.

[David Heise (xwinger)]

If tex-common gets backported, would it be possible to backport the entire texlive (2012.20120611-4) package from quantal? It looks like a large portion of that in included here in any event.

[Mitsuya Shibata (cosmos-door)]

Indeed its huge change, and backports ppa is used commonly.
https://launchpad.net/~texlive-backports/+archive/ppa

I cannot continue to challenge for backport request, will set status to "Invalid".
