[Mac OS X TeX] New naming scheme for TeX distributions

[Gerben Wierda]

I have decided on a new naming scheme for my TeX distributions. To be 
certain that all people who maintain links (Richard and Jerome afaik) 
have to change their links on their web sites, I have retired the name 
teTeX.dmg.

	ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-gs/TeXLive-teTeX.dmg

Links to the latest release of a stable (afaik) TeXLive develop for the 
programs and script and teTeX-beta for the texmf tree

	ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-gs/teTeX-teTeX.dmg

Links to the latest release of a stable teTeX-beta for the programs and 
script and teTeX-beta for the texmf tree

	ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/tex-gs/TeX.dmg

Links to either of the above and will be the one that I am using myself 
for production. This is the *preferred* distribution as well as the one 
that is most easy for me to support (given that I run it myself). In 
time, I might move back again to a single distribution, and most likely 
this will be based on TeXLive-teTeX, because it is a richer setup.

The last official release of teTeX is so much out of date that I have 
stopped keeping it around. The TeXLive non-develop source tree is more 
up to date, but still lacks one or two things that are essential for Mac 
OS X, so I keep to the development tree. However, I sync versions of the 
development tree that are reported to me by the maintainer as being 
stable.

A new TeXLive-teTeX release is forthcoming. It will contain the absolute 
latest stable pdfTeX: pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.7) 
3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020204. I have been running tyis for almost a 
week now without any problems.

Yours,

G
