Hi Petr and all,
booklet.tex, cropmarks.tex, qrcode.tex, circu.tex, scanbase.tex,
scancsv.tex
All of those except circu are already in the runtime, as a special case
that was grandfathered in from the past.
The other files from olsak-misc ... not intended for direct use.
Yes, that is what I recalled from our previous conversation.
Ok, I traded xmlparser.tex (previously under tex/) for circu.tex
(previously under doc/). Since these files have been around for so long,
I'll make this special additional exception (r79634).
IMHO there is no name conflict with the six files mentioned above (1) .
That's true, but it's not good in principle for any package to "usurp" a
random filename just because it's not being used.
For any new package, or any new files of an existing package, all
runtime filenames have to have some kind of relationship to the package
name, usually a prefix as quark67 suggested.
Thanks,
Karl
