Hi all, I run all my port builds through poudriere and although I love latex, I do not love the 2+ hours it takes to build the text/latex-texmf port. I use pkg(8) to maintain a cluster of machines, and I've checked the major culprits and I don't see how the latex-texmf dependency occurs. (I don't specify it explicitly.) What is the definitive way to figure out how this dependency has got itself insinuated into my installed ports? I am happy to forgo documentation, for the most part. Thanks, Russell ps Frankly I was happy with the user maintained (i.e. /opt) texlive-20xx on linux solution for the last several years, though I have not had to do any texing lately since I divorced linux and remarried FreeBSD early this year. So I don't know if I'll be back to a ports version sometime in the future. But at any rate I intend to to investigate ConTeXt quite a bit when I do need to, especially since firefox has wonderful pdf support these days, and good lord, have you seen what org-mode does with recent syntax to support latex these days? Egads.
