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
