The misalignment in having multiple versions comes +from having different source of packages. tetex had it's own texi2html +(so I guess texlive), which is certified and well QA and integrated with +that tetex version, so it provides "texi2html". At a certain point newer +versions of texi2html were placed in contrib because they were newer +(there were also other packages in this situation, xdvi, prosper, etc.) +and because of not touching the main tetex package. To handle this kind +of misalignment a good way to proceed would be to go in the main package +providing it (i.e. tetex/texlive) and try to merge the newer texi2html +with the new one, then redoing the tests. This often doesn't happen +because it takes a lot of amount of time, and require to handle with the +main and bigger package (texlive/tetex), and people often don't do this +if they are doing "snack packaging". + +The other way, which is to transform everything as "pluggable" (e.g. +split packages at source, so for instance not having tetex providing +texi2html) IMHO doesn't provide the same amount of certification, +because the packager (packager not necessarely means the maintainer) +just upgrade the version number, without taking care of re-testing, and +in case he doesn't know in deep about that package what he does as side +effect is to give away the upstream tetex/texlive certification +(certification that the included, so older, texi2html package works well +and has no flaws with the rest of the tetex/texlive distro) in favour of +a newer version (hoping that if something goes wrong or of some bug some +end-user would file a bug on bugzilla...). + +Bye. +G. +</pre> + </blockquote> + <pre wrap="">Thanks for the explanation. +It seems you are pretty versed in texlive.
