ikarus for Debian ----------------- The main unusual feature of this system is that its compiler can emit code only for the i386/amd64 architecture and requires the SSE2 extensions. These are, to my knowledge, available on all amd64 CPUs by both Intel and AMD, but not on PIII or earlier (Intel) or k7 or earlier (AMD) i386 CPUs. The availability of SSE2 is tested at both build and install time. Rebuilding the manual requires xelatex, which is in the texlive-xetex package, and fonts in ttf-sil-charis, and the Geneva font which is not in Debian and would require a substitute. The debian build process is set up to use the pre-built manual instead of regenerating it. The upstream project has been forked, with the new fork named vicare. See http://marcomaggi.github.com/vicare.html for details, or git://github.com/marcomaggi/vicare for the source. -- Barak A. Pearlmutter , Tue, 1 Nov 2011 10:05:25 +0000
