Package: texlive-texbytopic (2021.189.svn15878-150400.18.1)

Freed version of the book TeX by Topic

An invaluable book, originally published by Addison-Wesley (who have released their copyright -- their version of the book went out of print in the 1990s). The book describes itself as "a TeXnician's reference", and covers the way TeX (the engine) works in as much detail as most ordinary TeX programmers will ever need to know. A printed copy of the book may be had (for a modest price) via lulu.com (see the package home page for details).

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.
