@FaheemMitha Jonas is looking after our website: the previous lead (Thomas Lotze) stepped down at about the same time Jonas started talking to Frank about it
@FaheemMitha Currently the website is also stored in SVN (I think you can clone it if you like: I can check), but the framework we have is not widely used which makes life a bit 'interesting'
@ChristianHupfer West gets more precipitation generally, and unsurprisingly the high ground gets more snow, so Wales, Scotland, Lake District are heaviest, Yorkshire, Derbyshire next, then the midlands, very little snow in East Anglia as a rule
@FaheemMitha As I've said before, as much as anything there's an element of community here: Git(Hub) is generally popular for (La)TeX code. Note also that our workflow is a classical one: all work in one branch (trunk)
@ChristianHupfer Enough to go tobogganing I hope. We very rarely get more than a couple of inches [sorry, but coming from the UK snowfall is measured in these units :-)]
@JosephWright: This is (usually) the same: The western parts of Germany in the Rhine valley about Cologne are just too flat and the Black Forest is the first mountain chain being high enough to catch the western jet coming from France.
@FaheemMitha I don't foresee any change in the existing repositories. The LaTeX2e one is SVN-only and I doubt there'll be a drive to change that. The LaTeX3 one is two-way mirrored so there is no need to make a change. The website is going to go to Git as it suits Jonas, and I'd note that the new unicode-data package I've created is also Git-only (I don't think I can make new SVN repos on comedy).
I submitted a new package to CTAN days ago. I can find this package on CTAN, but my texlive installation cannot find it via tlmgr.
How long does it take for CTAN new package to be installed in texlive?
Should I wait for texlive 2016?
In TeX Live 2015, using the interpolate option of \includegraphics{...} with lualatex causes an error unless one specifies \pdftexversion appropriately. For example, following Kurt’s explanations in a question on ocg-p, this works:
\documentclass{article}
\def\pdftexversion{200}
\usepackage{fon...
@FaheemMitha Main advantage of GitHub or similar from my POV is it's a flexible and powerful GUI for the log, changes, etc., without us having to host it ourselves. One can of course see the same on other sites (BitBucket most obviously), but you have to pick one and most I know of are Git-only or favour Git
@yo' we don't produce open source software (mostly) we sell a software library, but it's written (mosty) in emacs and initially developed (mostly) on linux the build system is gnu make, it's often compiled with gcc and so it goes. Even in proprietary software companies the entire software stack is held together by open source software.
I would like to create a package (.sty) for a titlepage. I followed this guide https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Title_Creation from which I took the following two codes: the first code is the package called columbidaeTitle.sty, the second code is the document where the package, earlier created...
@egreg yes although most cases (and here probably, I didn't really look) the whole renewgeometry stuff is over-engineered for what could just be a simple change of margins cf quote
@JosephWright -- here in eastern north america, the winter so far has been ridiculously warm, so very little snow. when it does come, it's rather unpredictable. last year, there were some places in boston that still had visible pockets of snow until nearly july. and here is how some adventurous locals tppk advantage of a february 2013 providence snowstorm: youtube.com/watch?v=Y-2UEacqDz0 (just about a mile from where we live).
@AlanMunn Some ambulances in our Town say Rettungswagen in Arial, some in Helvetica. I asked somebody why ... nobody had even noticed the difference, not even after spotting out the obvious diffs.
@egreg Re: Preview this must be new since it never used to. I'll change the answer then. I never use Preview for PDFs so I haven't kept up with changes.
