I looked through the PRs and only found ports/144057 that referred to TeXLive and that was closed due to submitter time-out. Is there any particular reason why TeXLive isn't in ports?
I am keen to see TeTex replaced by a better option as it is starting to show it's age.
I looked through the PRs and only found ports/144057 that referred to TeXLive and that was closed due to submitter time-out. Is there any particular reason why TeXLive isn't in ports?
self contained (issues with downloads of unchecksummed files during build, install)
generally static after install (issues with tlmgr [or something] doing upgrades)
not conflicting with custom installs of texmf modules (custom texmf modules breaking things)
Also, I believe, a migration plan needs to be set up to replace TeTex. It appears the entire tex system is quite big and efforts to make TeXLive work seamlessly might actually hinder a native FreeBSD port. It appears to have a similar order of complexity as xorg/qt/kde.
