[tex-k] config.xdvi

[Hironobu Yamashita]

Hello,

In current svn repo, there is a file
Master/texmf-dist/dvips/xdvi/config.xdvi
However, when I build binaries from "Build" script, the file with
the same name and the same content is installed into
texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.xdvi
I think this is confusing.

In my opinion, xdvi >=22.86 uses "config.ps" and "config.xdvi" for
configuration, so these two can be placed close to each other; so
I think
Master/texmf-dist/dvips/xdvi/config.xdvi
should be moved to
Master/texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.xdvi

Hi Hironobu,

Master/texmf-dist/dvips/xdvi/config.xdvi

Yes, because it's part of the "xdvi" package -> xdvi/ subdirectory.

However, when I build binaries from "Build" script, the file with
the same name and the same content is installed into
texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.xdvi

If you want to change the "make install" location to be /xdvi/, and Paul
V agrees (or it could just be a local-to-TL tweak), that's fine with me.
I agree it would be better to be consistent.

Master/texmf-dist/dvips/xdvi/config.xdvi
should be moved to
Master/texmf-dist/dvips/config/config.xdvi

Sorry, I don't want to move it in Master ... --best, karl.

According to the commit message of r30339,
the decision of having config.xdvi in /xdvi/ seems local to TL,
so I guess reporting to Paul is unfavorable. If allowed, I will
commit directly to svn::Build.

xdvi/Makefile.am (l.206)
- dvipsconfdir = $(datarootdir)/texmf-dist/dvips/config
+ dvipsconfdir = $(datarootdir)/texmf-dist/dvips/xdvi
