I installed Texlive 2008 on FreeBSD and it worked perfectly. Now TUG(Tex user group) just released Texlive 2009. However, this time they don't provide binary for FreeBSD, making it difficult to compile and install TL 2009 on FreeBSD. I really think we need Texlive in ports since teTex is very outdated.

I notice that OpenBSD has a maintainer (Edd Barrett).

Executables for the cygwin and i386-netbsd platforms are now included, while the other BSD distributions have been dropped; we were advised that OpenBSD and FreeBSD users get TEX through their package systems, plus there were difficulties in making binaries that have a chance of working on more than one version.
