Take a look at http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/~eijkhout/articles/tbt.tgz and let me know what needs adjusting.

Victor.

Jean-Michel,

does the license have to be only in the source, or should it be in the printed documentation? Meaning, is it a comment, or should it be a section?

Victor.

Hi,
I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Please include a (perhaps temporary) URL pointing to the source code. Alternatively, you can forward the code to me by email or attach it to this tracker.

We wish to review your source code to catch potential legal issues early.For example, to release your book properly under the GFDL you must include a copyright notice and permission-to-copy statements at the beginning of your book.  This is explained in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html. Our review would help catch potential omissions such as these.

Note that sending code to our repositories is a release, since the code will then be publicly available through anonymous access.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, please provide us with an URL to an updated tarball of your project.  Upon review, we will reconsider your project for inclusion in Savannah.
To help us better keep track of your registration, please use the tracker's web interface following the link below. Do not reply directly, the registration process is not driven by e-mail, and we will not receive such replies.
Regards,

Jean-Michel

Description:

I want to host the LaTeX source for my book "TeX by Topic" (see http://www.eijkhout.net/tbt/) which until now is only available as downloadable pdf. TbT is a book about the TeX programming language proper, rather than the popular LaTeX macro package. The book was published by Addison-Wesley in 1991, but has been out of print for a while and the rights have referred to me. For the last number of years I've made a pdf version available for download, but I want to make the source publically available.

At the moment the source is not available online. Total requirements will be a few megabytes.

(This project is very much like "TeX for the Impatient" which is hosted here; you can ask Karl about my book; he's familiar with it.)


Other Software Required:

This book requires the TeX text processor, and the LaTeX macro package. These are normally included in Linux (and other Unix-like) distributions.
