latex in archeos

[Denis Francisci]

Hi,
I'm testing texmaker. It seems good and I think we can substitute kile for
texmaker (as Ricardo had suggested). These are my reasons:

PRO - Texmaker:
- It's very easy to use;
- When you install Texmaker all other dependent packages are installed (like
for Kile);
- Texmaker is lighter than Kile (Kile wants 168 dependend packages and 1462
mega of space; Texmaker 58 packages and 764 mega)
- Kile is designed for KDE and need some KDE packages, Texmaker not.

CONTRA - Texmaker:
- It misses some little functions that are in Kile, but they are not
important function in my opinion.

I suggest to install texlive-fonts-extra (it isn't installed with kile nor
with texmaker). It is a bit great (260 mega) but it contains extra fonts for
ancient languages: greek, ugarite, hieroglyph, etruscan, etc... very usefull
for archaeologists!!


For bibliography (bibtex) editors there are some possibilities: Kbibtex
(KDE), pybliography, tkbibtex, jabref, etc. Usually I don't use these
softwares but I tested some of them and I think the best for ArcheOS is
jabref (based on java). Debian package is available.

If you are agree I delete Kile from ArcheOS package list and I insert just
texmaker - texlive-fonts-extra - jabref.

Bye,
Denis
