[petsc-dev] Problem with generateetags.py

[Jose E. Roman]

I am getting an error when generating the tags, see error below. I have tracked the problem down to this offending commit:
https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc/commits/326299b7

It started to appear when the TAO users guide was placed under src.
A simple fix is to remove *.tex from generateetags.py
Do you want me to change this?
