[issue:231] Re: Adding dviout-util to TeX Live
Hi Karl, 2018-09-30 07:45 Karl Berry <karl@freefriends.org>:
I'd like to propose adding "dviout-util" to TeX Live.
Thanks for suggesting it. Sounds fine to me.
Thanks.

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.)
OK, I adjusted COPYING. I also added a little more detailed information to README.
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 ... ?
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
