NAME
dh_installtex - register Type 1 fonts, languages, or formats with TeX

SYNOPSIS
dh_installtex [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n] [--flavor=flavor[,flavor]]
[map=MixedMap,file.map] [map=Map,file.map] [mapfile=file.cfg[=n]]
[language=lang,pattern[,alternate,...]] [languagefile=file.cnf[=n]]
[format=format,engine,hyphenfile,rest args] [formatfile=file.cnf[=n]]
[texmftrees=tree[,tree]]

DESCRIPTION
dh_installtex is a debhelper program that is responsible for updating the ls-R databases,
registering map files, new formats, and new hyphenation patterns with TeX.

Your package should depend on an appropriate version of tex-common so that the update-*
commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to ${misc:Depends}.)

WARNING This program does not check for the actual existence of any input files in TEXMF
trees. If you call it without any further specification on which packages to work on
(using "-p" or "-N") it will add calls to management functions to all packages. In this
case don't forget to add ${misc:Depends} to all packages' dependencies.

SIMPLE USAGE: Registering Files
If you only install files into /usr/share/texmf and want to be sure that mktexlsr is
called in a correct way (e.g., also in the postrm script when there is no functional
mktexlsr), simply call

dh_installtex

The ls-R databases are [only] updated for the following trees: /usr/share/texmf and
/var/lib/texmf. Normal TeX related packages following the Debian TeX Policy should only
install files into these directories and /etc/texmf (which does not need a ls-R DB), so
this is a sensible choice. If you need to rehash the ls-R database of some other trees
(e.g., because an old version of your package had files in /usr/share/texmf-tetex), please
specify these additional trees on the command line via the texmftrees option:

dh_installtex texmftrees=tree1,tree2,...

This will update the ls-R databases for /usr/share/texmf, /var/lib/texmf, and in addition
tree1 and tree2.

COMPLEX USAGE: Registering fonts, hyphenation patterns and formats
If in addition, you have to install map files, hyphenation patterns for additional
languages, or format definitions you can use three different methods to specify what
should be installed:

1) Pre made config files: These files can be specified with the different typefile=
options, together with an optional priority. type can be one of map, format and language,
and these files will be installed into /etc/texmf/configdir/ for the respective type
(updmap.d for map files, language.d for language files, and fmt.d for format files).

Example:

dh_installtex mapfile=foo.cfg formatfile=debian/bar.cnf=42

would install foo.cfg as /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20foo.cfg, and debian/bar.cnf as
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/42bar.cnf.

2) Directly on the cmd line: You can specify maps, formats, and languages on the cmd line.
The items are stored in the respective config file 20package

Example:

dh_installtex map=Map,foo.map language=greek,grphyph4.tex,polygreek

would install a file /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20package.cfg containing the line

Map foo.map

and a file /etc/texmf/language.d/20package.cnf containing the lines

greek grphyph4.tex
=polygreek

3) Package files: You create a file debian/package.maps or debian/maps,
debian/package.languages or debian/languages, debian/package.formats or debian/formats.
These files are installed with default priority and the name of the package. Each of these
files will be installed into the first package dh_installtex is told to act on. By default
this is the first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it
will be the first package specified by those flags.

Example:

dh_installtex

would install a present debian/package.maps file as /etc/texmf/updmap.d/20package.cfg.

Mixing the different variants
The command line items (Variant 2) are merged into the debian/package.maps
(debian/package.languages, debian/package.formats) file and the merged file is installed
as 20package.cfg/cnf. If you specify an additional package.cfg/cnf (Variant 1) without a
different priority than the default one on the cmd line, this will raise an error since
both files would be installed as 20package.cfg/cnf. You can only specify package.cfg/cnf
without a different priority than the default one if no debian/package.maps nor any
command line Map files are present.

The pseudo-comment
If the provided cfg files do not contain the pseudo-comment as described in the Debian TeX
Policy, Font configuration, an additional header with explanation, warning and the pseudo-
comment is added.

This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register
the fonts with TeX. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.

OPTIONS
-n, --noscripts
Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

--priority=n
Set the default priority to n instead of 20.

--flavor=flavor[,flavor]
This option will be used to switch additional options on. The argument specify a list
from flavors to be selected. At the moment you can select from the following list of
flavors: map:config_for_active_maps, map:config_for_all_maps, format:build_all, and
format:add_one:formatname.

map:config_for_active_maps will create a file config.bar for each active (i.e.
uncommented) map in each of the cfg file generated by one of the three methods
described above. These files are installed in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/.

If you select map:config_for_all_maps the script will generate config.bar even for
those map files which are present in a cfg file, but deactivated by a comment.

The file config.bar is used when called by `dvips -Pbar ...'. Thus it allows the
activation of single map files even if they are not automatically activated via the
updmap(-sys) mechanism.

Default is not to generate any config files.

format:build_all will add code to the postinst script to create all defined formats,
and to the postrm script to clean and recreate? FIXME? the generated formats.

format:add_one:formatname allows to add the generation of a specific format without
actually providing it (in a cnf file). This is useful if a package adds hyphenation
patterns to an existing formats.

format:no_links: Usually, for every format that is specified in a configuration file
in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/, dh_installtex will create a symlink /usr/bin/format that points
to the corresponding engine. For example, /usr/bin/latex would be created as a
symlink to pdftex.

The flavor format:no_links inhibits this. If a link already exists, dh_installtex will
skip this format with an informational message, even if this option is not given.

NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called between
invocations of this command, unless using the -n option. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

Please refer to the Debian TeX policy for details about fonts configuration for TeX by
Debian packages.
