The blindtext package provides commands to create dummy ("blind") text
for testing new classes, packages, etc. The commands generate text,
paragraphs, nested lists, mathematics, and entire documents containing
sections, lists, mathematics, and table of contents. Supported languages
include, english, (n)german, french, catalan, and latin; the latin option
provides a short "lorem ipsum" (for a longer lorem ipsum text, see the
lipsum package). Each language requires either the babel package plus
the corresponding babel language package, or the polyglossia package (if
using LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX).

Distfile verification:
|
|
|
|
* I've verified that the md5 hash and size of the distfile downloaded
|
|
from ctan, blindtext.tar.xz, match the values given in the current
|
|
version of the texlive database entry for blindtext in
|
|
http://mirrors.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.xz
|
|
and the hashes in distinfo were calculated using that file.
|
|
|
|
Category choices:
|
|
|
|
Since it's pitched at testing new classes and packages, devel is a
|
|
potential primary category. It could also be a good way for users
|
|
to try out existing classes and packages, so print is also a
|
|
potential primary category. I chose devel, but not with much
|
|
conviction.
|
|
|
|
License choice:
|
|
|
|
* The README file, in the doc pkg and on the home page, says:
|
|
"License type: LaTeX Project Public License"
|
|
|
|
* The texlive database entry says:
|
|
catalogue-license lppl
|
|
|
|
The closest analogs in license.mk and pkgsrc/licenses are:
|
|
lppl-1.0 lppl-1.2 lppl-1.3c
|
|
|
|
* The .sty file says:
|
|
"License type: Free"
|
|
|
|
There doesn't seem to be any analog in license.mk or pkgsrc/licenses,
|
|
but the word "copyright" (case-insensitive search) does not appear in
|
|
any of the files in the package, the doc package, or the source
|
|
package. So, maybe the closest analogous license is:
|
|
public-domain
|
|
|
|
* I decided to go with lppl-1.3c, since it was the version in effect at
|
|
the time that the latest version of blindtext was contributed to
|
|
ctan, and "Latex Project Public License" is prominently displayed on
|
|
the home page. In the source .dtx file there are a few changes with
|
|
dates that predate lppl-1.3c, but there is no evidence of a date for
|
|
an original version. The earliest date mentioned is in the line:
|
|
\changes{V1.3}{2003-05-18}{Cascaded lists}.
|
|
|
|
However, some other texlive packages specify a version explicitly,
|
|
and this one does not, so maybe the default should be lppl-1.0?
|

Checklist for import to pkgsrc:
|
|
|
|
* Reevaluate my choice of parent directory. If changed from devel to
|
|
print, reverse the order of the items in CATEGORIES in Makefile.
|
|
|
|
* Reevaluate my choice of license.
|
|
|
|
* Mirror the distfile: once the distfile has been copied to pkgsrc
|
|
mirrors, the line
|
|
TEXLIVE_USE_CTAN= yes
|
|
should be removed from the Makefile.
|
|
|
|
* Import.
|
|
|
|
* Activate: in devel/Makefile, add
|
|
SUBDIR+= tex-blindtext
|
|
|
|
* Update meta-pkgs/texlive-collection/latexextra/Makefile, changing
|
|
# depend blindtext
|
|
to
|
|
DEPENDS+= tex-blindtext-[0-9]*:../../<category>/tex-blindtext
|
|
where <category> is the chosen parent directory.
