Hi

I have updated my tetex-latex-heb rpm.

Changes:

* changed heblatex directory in texmf tree
* fonts (including lhe*.fd and hebfonts.sty) in a seperate package
* rearanged the source package (all external components are in seperate
  tarballs)

You can get it (currently) from:

http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/Packages/tetex-latex-heb-1.1.0-1haifux.noarch.rpm
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/Packages/tetex-latex-heb-fonts-1.1.0-1haifux.noarch.rpm

 Those two are needed to typeset hebrew documents

  Documentation

  The source package

They all have a "haifux" release number, as I intend to use them in the
upcoming instaparty.

The Change In The Path:
""""""""""""""""""""""

Babel 3.7 includes heblatex 2.0c (without the fonts package) in
texmf/generic/babel/

After getting some positive feedback and no negative feedback, I decided
to override that. However for technical reasons I did not want to remove
the existing files (this means that I have to modify the existing tetex
package). My original package placed heblatex in
texmf/generic/babel/hebrew . This means that the files from babel override
my files (at least in tetex).

My temporary workaround is to place my heblatex files in
texmf/generic/0babel_hebrew . In the long run, I'll have to have them
replace the current files in babel.


A Seperate Fonts Package:
""""""""""""""""""""""""

I seperated the fonts package for two reasons:

- A minor reason is that this is enough to allow the use of existing
  rlbabel in current babel, and thus prevents almost all the unnecessary
  duplication (I believe that all of those haven't changed)
- I want to allow replacement of just this component, e.g.: with MS TTFs.
