Task description

Our goal is to keep the TeX System in Debian current and functional, and to improve its integration with the rest of the Debian system.

This includes tasks from handling bug reports and often forwarding them upstream to writing packaging scripts and actually working with the TeX or C code of the TeX programs.

One ongoing challenge is theLicense Auditing
