APT source whitelist request for ppa:texlive-backports/ppa about apt-source-safelist HOT 17 OPEN

This is still needed (or a newer Ubuntu version in the container-based infrastructure).

from apt-source-safelist.

FYI, by using The Trusty beta Build Environment you get the following versions:

$ latex --version
pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.5-1.40.14 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

$ xelatex --version
XeTeX 3.1415926-2.5-0.9999.3-2014012222 (TeX Live 2013/Debian)

from apt-source-safelist.

I would love to see this added, as the current TeX support is ancient 👍

I'm now rather curious, actually, if there's something problematic about this request? (The few other whitelist requests I have made or +1'ed all happened promptly.)

from apt-source-safelist.

Well, there are 132 open requests, and this PPA contains a rather staggering amount of stuff to review. (Even though most of the packages here are probably TeX-only files, the travis reviewer presumably needs to require the actual packaging to verify that nothing nasty is going on in the install scripts.)

👍, needed for testing Agda documentation.

Blocking agda/agda#1966.

I get mysterious compilation errors using the version of texlive I can get in the Trusty beta (and they disappear with TeX Live 2016). Please whitelist!
