Debian's texlive is aging

Description (last modified by geofft) (diff)

Debian, even in unstable, still only has TeX Live version 2009, and Ubuntu hasn't separately packaged it. TeX Live is currently at version 2011; there aren't many interesting changes there, but there are a few useful ones in  version 2010, including the following one:

pdf(LA)TEX now automatically converts a requested Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file to PDF.

I'm not sure why Debian isn't updating -- it might be worth packaging a newer one and notifying the maintainer, or trying to get a newer one into Ubuntu.

Thanks to brians for calling my attention to this.
