Hello all, Prompted by the dependency thread, it would be good if the core LaTeX "required" set was always installed when LaTeX is, i.e. adding depend amsmath depend latex-first-aid depend graphics depend tools to the entry for latex; these lines could then be removed elsewhere. (Technically you could have some plain code depending on graphics for the plain-TeX path, but I very much doubt this is covered in the TL list.) (I've deliberately skipped latex-lab here - the argument is less strong for that.) It might also be sensible to add "depend epstopdf-pkg" to the entry for graphics, as whilst I see the 'you don't need it for a classical DVI workflow' argument, it's more-or-less always wanted. Again, that would all the line to be removed elsewhere. Thanks, Joseph
