Something else? >=20 > Thanks! Hi, First I want to say I really want to see texlive in and our old teTex going= out and I appreciate all the work that are going on in the area recently. I have two concerns about this, first one is I would hate to see texlive has restricted to avoided to be build as a package because: 1/ people would love to just be able to install the package 2/ lots of ports are currently depending on teTex and if teTex is replaced = by texlive which it should that means we will not anymore be able to provide packages for those packages, I don't have the complete list but I think this will impact at least kde and gnome. My second concern was discussed when Dominic Fandrey called for testing this port: at least 2 people have been working on texlive with different approac= h: hrs and romain. In particular Romain and I discussed on merging texlive to the ports tree b= ased on http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/ he has been contacted some com= pany to mirror the splitted distfiles for us, and was suppose to resumer his wor= k on this when back from vacations which should be the case now given that he has done some commit last week :D I CCed both hrs and romain so they can give their opinion and the status of their work. Thanks all for your work on texlive! regards, Bapt --envbJBWh7q8WU6mo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlBnc18ACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExdWQCgnL7lNnN4Rjl1cwTdGMf583N6 Yd0AnjTuyQx9cj0g7e66nwQEvdcxJk2J =ukP6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --envbJBWh7q8WU6mo--
