porting from old to new version problem

[pzabawa-poczta-onet-pl]

The following line: \begin{description}[align=left,labelwidth=\widthof{\bf\cdmmformal{IndirectConnection}}] submits an error after upgarde of both enumitem and calc packages. Maybe not an issue but just the same effect should be obtained in a different way. What should I do?

@pzabawa-poczta-onet-pl is it the case that you load calc after enumitem? 3.7 introduced a dependency and requires calc to be loaded first (should be fixed)

Hi Frank, do you know why the problem of dependency management is not solved in LaTeX like, say in Maven? This is a common problem for LaTeX users. Cheers Piotr

I quite understand that this is a problem for LaTeX users but I don't see how that could be easily solved (or how Maven manages that).

Point is the dependency is an order dependency and that is implicit due to using \let in the new code where \def should have been used (see

14). That dependency shouldn't be there in the first place, it is not

something that could be automatically detected, nor could it have been "declared" as I guess Javier simply overlooked it.

Basically a dependency management for LaTeX would require a manual setup and management of the underlying graph which is imho not something that could be reliably achieved giving available resources.

Thanks. I'll fix it in a few days.
