Disabling the USEFLAG 'preview-latex' for app-emacs/auctex works fine.
Comment 1 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-22 07:05:09 UTC
Yeah, I know that.  Problem is that auctex ships a newer version of preview.sty and friends.  I can't delete that package neither from tetex nor from auctex.  Maybe shipping a separate dev-tex/preview package would help.  text-markup, any ideas?
Comment 2 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-22 08:47:56 UTC
Ok, I now know how to avoid preview.sty and friends from being installed.  For the archive: It is by removing texmf and intall-texmf from prerequisites of all and install targets in auctex-11.83/preview/Makefile.in
So text-markup, I need your help now.  I can prepare a dev-tex/preview package, we both (p)depend on with app-text/tetex and app-emacs/auctex to avoid file collisions, but tetex still has the same packages as before.  On your side, preview.* must be removed from the tarball (or by other means as in pkg_postinstall() function).
Comment 3 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-26 09:29:10 UTC
Another solution could be to let auctex install the TeX files into the local TeXMF tree to avoid collisions...this could break a user installation as it would overwrite his additions or we take another separate tree.  Any comments?

Well, we can use the /usr/share/texmf-site tree. I still prefer (by a great deal) the solution adviced in comment #2: all files that come from system packages would go to /usr/share/texmf and other trees will be managed by the sysadmin of the machine. Also, splitting in a dev-tex/preview-latex package could ease the updating of those .sty files.

Thanks for the work, let's wait for text-markup devels for saying something.

The texmf-site tree was created exactly for these kinds of things (the tree was created to handle tex packages which is included in the standard texmf-tree and has a separate ebuild). A user should not install anything in that tree (he/she could just create his own tree).
So the way to go is to use texmf-site.
Comment 6 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-27 08:57:39 UTC
It is fixed in -r1.  My solution was to install it in TEXMFSITE, this is determined via `kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFSITE` and used in the ebuild. I don't depend on USE=preview-latex when creating the variable or setting the configure option because it does no harm or cost significant performance.
