In short, what I am working on is splitting the texlive distribution into pieces about ~200 ports (tex engines and macro packages) and generating versioned distfiles from a local CTAN mirror. A port just for installing whole part of texlive is difficult to handle in the ports tree because there are many software that have to depend on a part of it but texlive is really huge. I am considering to remove print/teTeX* (since I am the maintainer) and update the dependencies to use the modular texlive ports seamlessly. I have several prototype but I need to fix them to some recent changes in the ports tree before making one public for review. Although I was thinking it could be done in September, it didn't unfortunately. I will continue to work on it and probably make it in public after EuroBSDCon. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Oct__1_18_42_18_2012_454)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAlBpZXoACgkQTyzT2CeTzy2YGQCcDl43OR7oEjEwHtLJD6n6tMBn BYMAn2aAkITjqC12RcOKTVubhLfPiGJE =iaDa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Mon_Oct__1_18_42_18_2012_454)----
