Message-ID: <20151222063545.GB4313@newbook> X-Mailinglist: alpine-aports Precedence: list List-Id: Alpine Development List-Unsubscribe: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.24 (2015-08-30) X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV using ClamSMTP Hello all, Before texlive got moved to unmaintained I was (slowly) poking at it to see what's needed to make it work. At first I planned to split it up, but upon further consideration, I'm dubious if that's sensible for a package I would not be able to maintain. There are a few issues that prevent the current texlive package from working: 1- a lot of links need to be set up. AFAICT, this is supposed to be done by running /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/texlinks.sh after installation, or by running "make texlinks" after "make install". It can also be done manually, if you have the list of links. 2- in /usr/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf, TEXMFROOT should be set to /usr/share rather than $SELFAUTOPARENT (SELFAUTOPARENT is $BINDIR/../..; it is the default value of TEXMFROOT, but only makes sense for the default multiplatform builds.) 3- /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/tlmgr.pl uses SELFAUTOPARENT when it plainly is meant to use TEXMFROOT. 4- No TeX fonts/packages are included. At least for packages, having a working tlmgr will circumvent this. I'm not certain if fonts are available in tlmgr. The alternative is to fetch texlive-$SOMEDATE-texmf.tar.xz, extract it, and copy .../texmf-dist/* to $SYSROOT/usr/share/texmf-dist/. texlive-texmf is platform-independent data, and weighs a little under 2GB. What's the recommended way of dealing with these? I'm thinking of the following at the moment: - don't split the packages up. -for 1, I think adding "make texlinks" is the best option -for 2 and 3, my WIP uses sed; but I realize that patches are preferred. -for 4, I don't really have a good answer.
