NAME
       dh_installtex - register Type 1 fonts, hyphenation patterns, or formats
       with TeX

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installtex [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n]
       [--flavor=flavor[,flavor]] [map=MixedMap,file.map] [map=Map,file.map]
       [map=KanjiMap,file.map] [mapfile=file.cfg[=n]]
       [hyphen=lang,file[,lhm=n][,rhm=n][,synonym=syn,...]]
       [hyphenfile=file.cnf[=n]] [format=format,engine,hyphenfile,rest args]
       [formatfile=file.cnf[=n]]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installtex is a debhelper program that is responsible for updating
       the ls-R databases, registering map files, new formats, and new
       hyphenation patterns with TeX.

       Your package should depend on an appropriate version of tex-common so
       that the update-* commands are available. (This program adds that
       dependency to ${misc:Depends}.)

       WARNING This program does not check for the actual existence of any
       input files in TEXMF trees. If you call it without any further
       specification on which packages to work on (using "-p" or "-N") it will
       add calls to management functions to all packages. In this case don't
       forget to add ${misc:Depends} to all packages' dependencies.

SIMPLE USAGE: Registering Files
       If you only install files into /usr/share/texmf and want to be sure
       that mktexlsr is called in a correct way (e.g., also in the postrm
       script when there is no functional mktexlsr), simply call

               dh_installtex

COMPLEX USAGE: Registering fonts, hyphenation patterns and formats
       If in addition, you have to install map files, hyphenation patterns for
       additional languages, or format definitions you can use three different
       methods to specify what should be installed:

       1) Pre made config files: These files can be specified with the
       different typefile= options, together with an optional priority.  type
       can be one of map, format and hyphen, and these files will be installed
       into /etc/texmf/configdir/ for the respective type (updmap.d for map
       files, hyphen.d for hyphenation pattern files, and fmt.d for format
       files).

       Example:

               dh_installtex mapfile=foo.cfg formatfile=debian/bar.cnf=42

       would install foo.cfg as /var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texmf/foo.cfg,
       and debian/bar.cnf as /etc/texmf/fmt.d/42bar.cnf.

       2) Directly on the cmd line: You can specify maps, formats, and
       hyphenations on the cmd line. The items are stored in the respective
       config file 20package

       Example:

               dh_installtex map=Map,foo.map hyphen=ngerman-x-2011-07-01,dehyphn-x-2011-07-01.tex,hyph-de-1996.pat.txt,lhm=2,rhm=2,synonym=ngerman-x-latest,exceptions=hyph-de-1996.hyp.txt

       would install a file /var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texmf/package.cfg
       containing the line

               Map foo.map

       and a file /etc/texmf/hyphen.d/20package.cnf containing the lines

           name=ngerman-x-2011-07-01 file=dehyphn-x-2011-07-01.tex file_patterns=hyph-de-1996.pat.txt lefthyphenmin=2 righthyphenmin=2 synonym=ngerman-x-latest file_exceptions=hyph-de-1996.hyp.txt

       3) Package files: You create a file debian/package.maps or debian/maps,
       debian/package.hyphens or debian/hyphens, debian/package.formats or
       debian/formats. These files are installed with default priority and the
       name of the package. Each of these files will be installed into the
       first package dh_installtex is told to act on. By default this is the
       first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a
       flags, it will be the first package specified by those flags.

       Example:

               dh_installtex

       would install a present debian/package.formats file as
       /etc/texmf/fmt.d/20package.cnf.

   Mixing the different variants
       The command line items (Variant 2) are merged into the
       debian/package.maps (debian/package.hyphens, debian/package.formats)
       file and the merged file is installed as 20package.cfg/cnf. If you
       specify an additional package.cfg/cnf (Variant 1) without a different
       priority than the default one on the cmd line, this will raise an error
       since both files would be installed as 20package.cfg/cnf. You can only
       specify package.cfg/cnf without a different priority than the default
       one if no debian/package.maps nor any command line Map files are
       present.

   The pseudo-comment
       If the provided cfg files do not contain the pseudo-comment as
       described in the Debian TeX Policy, Font configuration, an additional
       header with explanation, warning and the pseudo-comment is added.

       This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands
       needed to register the fonts with TeX.  See dh_installdeb(1) for an
       explanation of how this works.

OPTIONS
       -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

       --priority=n
           Set the default priority to n instead of 20.

       --flavor=flavor[,flavor]
           This option is used to select a different tree then the default
           /usr/share/texmf, and to switch on additional options. The argument
           specify a list from flavors to be selected.  At the moment you can
           select from the following list of flavors: tree:texlive,
           map:config_for_active_maps, map:config_for_all_maps,
           format:build_all, format:add_one:formatname, and lsr:full.

           tree:texlive will select the tree /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist and
           should only be used for files installed into this tree.

           map:config_for_active_maps will create a file config.bar for each
           active (i.e. uncommented) map in each of the cfg file generated by
           one of the three methods described above. These files are installed
           in /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/.

           If you select map:config_for_all_maps the script will generate
           config.bar even for those map files which are present in a cfg
           file, but deactivated by a comment.

           The file config.bar is used when called by `dvips -Pbar ...'. Thus
           it allows the activation of single map files even if they are not
           automatically activated via the updmap(-sys) mechanism.

           Default is not to generate any config files.

           format:build_all will add code to the postinst script to create all
           defined formats, and to the postrm script to clean and recreate?
           FIXME?  the generated formats.

           format:add_one:formatname allows to add the generation of a
           specific format without actually providing it (in a cnf file).
           This is useful if a package adds hyphenation patterns to an
           existing formats.

           format:no_links: Usually, for every format that is specified in a
           configuration file in /etc/texmf/fmt.d/, dh_installtex will create
           a symlink /usr/bin/format that points to the corresponding engine.
           For example, /usr/bin/latex would be created as a symlink to
           pdftex.

           The flavor format:no_links inhibits this. If a link already exists,
           dh_installtex will skip this format with an informational message,
           even if this option is not given.

           lsr:full: Recreate the lsr database not only for the standard
           trees, but also the distribution tree "/usr/share/texlive/texmf"
           and "/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist".

NOTES
       "dh_installtex" adds a dependency relation onto tex-common to
       misc:Depends.  If files are installed into /usr/share/texmf/doc, the
       version is >=4, otherwise >=3.

       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be
       called between invocations of this command, unless using the -n option.
       Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added
       to maintainer scripts.

       Please refer to the Debian TeX policy for details about fonts
       configuration for TeX by Debian packages.
