4.32 Things to do post Installation of texlive 2016 on Linux

These are the steps I need to do after installation of TL

1. fix \pgfusepathqfill bug. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/185349/error-using-pgfsysdriver-with-tex4ht-only-shows-up-with-texlive-2014-ok-with-t
2. There is a new error when compiling make4ht --lua see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/315162/error-with-tex4ht-under-tl-2016-when-using-lua-string-contains-an-invalid-utf-8 but this should be fixed very soon (ok, allready fixed)

3. If compiling with lualtaex, need to add this to all files

   \IfFileExists{luatex85.sty} 
   { 
   \usepackage{luatex85} 
   } 
   {}
    
   

4. Watch out, do not use \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} Makes tex4ht \verb not accept different fonts. Bug. see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/318232/why-tex4ht-do-not-change-font-size-of-verb-when-including-usepackaget1font

5. Increase bufsize, else it will fail on some large builds

   sudo vi /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf.cnf
    
   

   Added these:

   % (Public domain.) 
   % This texmf.cnf file should contain only your personal changes from the 
   % original texmf.cnf (for example, as chosen in the installer). 
   % 
   % That is, if you need to make changes to texmf.cnf, put your custom 
   % settings in this file, which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf.cnf, rather than 
   % the distributed file (which is .../texlive/YYYY/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf). 
   % And include *only* your changed values, not a copy of the whole thing! 
   % 
    
   buf_size=90000000 
   pool_size=9000000 
   main_memory=8000000 
   save_size=1000000
    
   

6. increase open file limit, lualatex still has problem

   edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf as root and add these lines

   * soft nofile 4096 
   * hard nofile 4096
    
   

7. install pdf2svg sudo apt-get install pdf2svg

8. install scour (do not use apt-get install scour, use pip to get latest version)

   sudo apt-get install python-pip 
   sudo pip install scour 
    
   Downloading/unpacking scour 
     Downloading scour-0.33.tar.gz 
     Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/scour/setup.py) egg_info for package scour 
    
   Downloading/unpacking six>=1.9.0 (from scour) 
     Downloading six-1.10.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl 
   Installing collected packages: scour, six 
     Running setup.py install for scour 
    
       Installing scour script to /usr/local/bin 
     Found existing installation: six 1.5.2 
       Not uninstalling six at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS 
   Successfully installed scour six 
   Cleaning up... 
    
   >which scour 
   /usr/local/bin/scour 
    
   >scour --version 
   0.33
    
   

   used to shrink size of svg images (clean them)

9. fix algorithm2e.sty so that lualatex can use

   styles>kpsewhich  algorithm2e.sty 
   /usr/local/texlive/2016/texmf-dist/tex/latex/algorithm2e/algorithm2e.sty
    
   

   and remove 2 lines with non-ascii chars, around lines 1313 and 1315.

10. Make sure not to use subimport* but use \subimport
11. install sudo apt-get install imagemagick for convert command
12. install  sudo apt-get install optipng to optimize png
