I would wish for more LaTeX packages for wikibooks (see my same-name user account there), in particular scalerel, stackengine and esint.

It seems the wanted package is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-extra/2013.20131112-1 (lists all the required binaries) so hence http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/texlive-extra-utils

Change 231889 had a related patch set uploaded (by Reedy):
Install texlive-extra-utils on mw appservers
Comment Actions
Can you give a rough use case for this please @Mathmensch? Straight off, I can't see why it'd be a problem (well, other than all the other stuff the debian package will install by default), but a justification is always helpful :)
Comment Actions
@Reedy I need a symbol for an average (integral w/ horizontal stroke) and a really wide hat for the Fourier transform (the current one is too small, this needs scalerel & stackengine)
Comment Actions
Hmm. That first link suggests those exist in texlive-latex-extra, which should be installed already...
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/texlive-latex-extra/filelist
Do they just need whitelisting in the Math extension maybe then? :/

So yes, latex-extra is already installed as Reedy said.

How do you do that? I cloned the Math extension but i don't see an obvious list of texlive packages except in the README that says what to install.

Change 231889 abandoned by Dzahn:
Install texlive-extra-utils on mw appservers
Reason:
I'll abandon this for now. Let's continue the discussion on the linked phabricator ticket. It looks to me like it's not needed but if i'm wrong we can always just click to restore this.
Comment Actions
@Physikerwelt See our comments above, texlive-latex-extra is already installed. Could it be about the whitelisting in the extension? Just assigning to you to get your feedback for now.
Comment Actions
@Dzahn: The situation is slightly more complicated. MediaWiki uses its own set of commans that are most of the time identical to the tex commands from various packages. Therefore there is a set of allowed commands that was hardcoded in texvc. For convinence I listed the commands here
http://www.formulasearchengine.com/sites/formulasearchengine.com/files/android.txt
(If you are interested I also have a list with usage statistics on enwiki...)
To become independent of that, @cscott developed a new tool texvcjs that reproduces this behaviour and is used for new rendering modes (i.e. MathML rendering).
This ist is easyer to customize and independent of the rendering engine.
However, before we change something on the set of availible commands, we should resolve T78046, or at least disable all rending modes other than MathML for Wikikis that want to customize their set of commands.
Comment Actions
@Physikerwelt ok, thanks! so trying to make this simpler again. is your request still to add the package "texlive-extra-utils" on appservers just like the ticket title says?
Comment Actions
@Dzahn: That was not my request and Im not in favour of that.
We, @GWicke, @mobrovac, and others, are making good progress with the new rendering mode das does not require a latex installation on the webserver.
I would prefere to pospone the request (which is more to enable the commands in that particular package than to install some latex package on a server) until we only have one rendering mode. Otherwise I expect a lot of problems (especially in the context of incompatible texvc versions).
Comment Actions
@Physikerwelt ok,thanks for the explanation. That sounds to me like the ticket is rejected.
@Mathmensch what do you think about the comments above?
Comment Actions
@Physikerwelt Can I expect the new rendering mode to be complete in the next summer term? (I'm currently trying to accumulate some free time there for work at wikibooks.)
Comment Actions
Please open a new bug with a list of commands and their applications, which do not work with the new rendering mode.
