Greetings!

Сперва анонс от Thomas Esser:
---------------------------------------

Hi,

I just have uploaded a new teTeX-beta release which will soon appear on ctan, e.g.
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20021017.tar.gz
or
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-src-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmf-beta-20021017.tar.gz
  ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX-beta/teTeX-texmfsrc-beta-20021017.tar.gz

Main differences from previous release are the updated xdvik (portability
fixes) and small corrections to the texmf tree. In my last announce,
I wrote that it includes a *prerelease* version of web2c-7.3.8, which
is not true (we have in the last teTeX-beta as well as in this one the
*real* web2c-7.3.8). Nevertheless, there will be a bew web2c release at
about the end of this month.

The ChangeLog entries:

src tarball:
        * update xdvik
        * merge Omega + dvips changes from TeX Live

texmf tarball:
        * update Catalogue
        * update chapterbib.sty
        * Adobe Utopia fonts + support files removed; the fonts are not
        free software
        * listings updated
        * fmtutil.cnf: replaced language.dat by - for formats that don't
        load language.dat
        * new b*.ini files (introduced in last pretest) have loaded
        plain.tex instead of bplain.tex
        * adobe.map / typeface.map updated

---------------------------------------

Теперь размышления на тему:

1. Новая версия teTeX (1.0.8?), видимо, будет в течение двух недель.

2. Предыдущие пререлизы (20020901, 20020922) у меня собираются и работают.
   Сборка с gcc3.2 проблем не вызывает, как и работа с Type1 по умолчанию.
   
3. Более удобный с точки зрения дистрибутива вариант updmap (управление
   отображениями Type1 шрифтов для dvips, dvipdfm, XDvi, pdftex) уже 
   практически завершен.

4. По срокам эта, значительно более продвинутая, версия teTeX немного
   вылазит за наш freeze deadline.

Готовы ли мы интегрироваться на грани окончания периода freeze?

С точки зрения maintainer могу сказать, что я особых проблем не вижу, тем
более что teTeX (пере)собирается в BTE, где все проблемы сразу видны.
