I guess the current dviout binary is up-to-date enough, as its sources are unchanged. Those I've changed are some accompanying tiny utilities, which are not so essential for the main program dviout.exe as a DVI previewer. So, there should be no need for building/uploading the whole package. That said, of course, dviout-util is a subset of the dviout package, so I will keep sync the dviout svn with dviout-util. I may rebuild/update the whole package when it is really needed. I will commit to TeX Live svn after a few more tests. Best regards, Hironobu

角藤先生，山下です。 dviout 付属の dvispc と chkfont を，TeX Live へ導入する方向で動いております。 dvispc はそのままの名前で，chkfont は chkdvifont に改名することになります。（Google 検索すると Windows や Linux で chkfont という全く別のプログラムが見つかるようです。）幾つかご相談したいことがあります。 (1) TeX Live win32 では dviout 配下に dvispc，chkfont があるため重複してしまいます。2019年以降のパッケージングはどのようにすれば良いでしょうか。・重複を許して両方残す・dviout 配下の dvispc，chkfont を消すなど考えられそうで，私はどれが良いか決めかねております。 (2) W32TeX に入っている allow5c は，TeX Live 収録のご予定はあるでしょうか。恐らく Windows 専用だとは思いますが，もし allow5c のソースを頂くことが可能なら dviout-util の場所にソースを置かせていただたいと思っています。山下弘展 (Hironobu Yamashita)

I'd like to propose adding "dviout-util" to TeX Live. Thanks for suggesting it. Sounds fine to me. In principle it would be better to fix dviselect or dvidvi to do the right thing, not to mention combine those programs, but since we've long ago given up on normal software engineering practices in the TeX world, what the heck. :) https://github.com/texjporg/tex-jp-build/tree/dviout-util/source/texk/dviou… The stuff about the "svn repository" in tug.org (in COPYING, where it doesn't belong anyway) is presumably not correct for dviout-util. (You have the correct info in the README, which is where it belongs.) Also, is the dviout svn repository on tug.org still the active one, or has it moved? Just wondering. I see the last commit there was a year ago. Also, the dviout.exe binary in TL dates from 2016, so it seems stale ... ? Thanks, Karl

[issue:226] Adding dviout-util to TeX Live
by Hironobu Yamashita 27 Sep '18

Hi Karl, (cc: texjp.org developers) I'd like to propose adding "dviout-util" to TeX Live. It consists of 2 tiny programs, both of which are derived from DVIOUT previewer on Windows. * dvispc: Correct the page-independence of DVI file * chkdvifont: Check fonts in DVI/TFM/JFM/FONT files Current sources are hosted at: https://github.com/texjporg/tex-jp-build/tree/dviout-util/source/texk/dviou… Some details: - A DVI file with \special's (color, annotation etc.) is not always page-independent; in that case, "dviselect" or "dvidvi" fails to preserve such \special's. The program "dvispc" corrects the DVI file to be page-independent. - "chkdvifont" (originally named "chkfont") prints what fonts appear in a DVI file, and also tells information about individual TFM, VF, etc. In the current TeX Live, only Windows users have access to those programs. (And, I guess, few people are actually aware of those useful programs.) However, they can be easily compiled on Unix C compilers. The original DVIOUT authors also agreed adding them to cross-platform TeX Live. I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thank you, Hironobu

Hi Hironobu, Thanks for your bug report. I have fixed the issue (I hope), it needs some more testing before I can release a new version of babel-french (this will likely take a couple of days). I append a *temporary* version of french.ldf, can you please test it and tell me if anything unexpected happens? Thanks and best wishes, -- Daniel Flipo
