texlive hungarian hyphenation outdated

[Peter Kerekfy]

Binary package hint: texlive-lang-hungarian

The huhyphn.tex file shipped with the texlive-lang-hungarian package is very outdated (v20031107).
The most recent version can be found here:

http://www.tipogral.hu/download/huhyphn-20070907.tar.gz

Please update to the newest version.

This bug is present in gutsy and maybe hardy too (I have not tested hardy yet)

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

$ dpkg -l | grep texlive-lang-hun
ii texlive-lang-hungarian 2007.dfsg.1-3
     TeX Live: Hungarian

[Peter Kerekfy (kerekfyp)]

I can confirm now that this problem is present in the most recent hardy package:

texlive-lang-hungarian_2007.dfsg.3-1

Thanks a lot for the report.

We have fixed it upstream in SVN repository of TeX Live 2008, but do not expect a fix for TeX Live 2007. If you want recent patterns, you need to use a recent TeX distribution or update patterns yourself (it's rather straightforward).

Debian has a rather strict update policy. Any other TeX package shipping with TeX Live 2007 is probably just as ancient as this one. If anyone is willing to do the update, I rather suggest updating to TeX Live 2008 rather than trying to fix package-by-package. The latter can take infinitely long and might introduce numerous problems (when we added the new patterns, pattern memory had to be increased due to much larger number of patterns in the new file; this could fundamentally break TL 2007 if not careful enough).

Please tag this bug report either "Fix released" or "Invalid". (Though neither is entirely true.)

[Peter Kerekfy (kerekfyp)]

Thanks for the fix.

FYI: according to tipogral.hu the most recent version of huhyphn is now 20081106

Thanks Mojca for the good sum up.

Fixed-upstream we would do on Debian, no idea if that exists on Ubuntu.

Best wishes
