Bugzilla Bug 215735

It's been a long time, it should be good to go now; so that we can move on.

This stable request includes app-text/texlive*, dev-texlive/*, app-text/dvipdfm
and app-text/xdvipdfmx. You shouldn't need anything else unless I screwed up
something.


For testing, please make sure you're good to go with the migration guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/tex/texlive-migration-guide.xml

x86 stable, worked fine since the beginning.

Created an attachment (id=148884) [details]
packages

this are the packages I had to mark stable on ppc64. the list is in the correct
dependency order. might be helpful for other arches.

ppc64 stable

Stable for HPPA.

I used corsair's list and additionally marked stable a further two:
  =dev-tex/detex-2.7
  =app-text/dvipng-1.9
which are direct dependencies of app-text/texlive.

alpha/ia64/sparc stable

Just curious: is there a reason why PPC isn't on the CC list?

> Just curious: is there a reason why PPC isn't on the CC list?

yes, look at when ~ppc has been added.
If you are interested, I'll be glad if you could fill a stable request whenever
you feel its appropriate as soon as the 30 days guideline has been met; because
I will probably forget to track it.

on amd64:

i've just installed these packages from ~amd64, so that i can enjoy all the
wonders of texlive.

as far as i can say, this stuff works nice (i'm doing some non-trivial math

Sorry, I didn't notice the ~ppc keyword was just a few days ago. I'll keep
track of the 30 days.

Alexis, take a look at this errors:

if test -f
/var/tmp/portage/app-text/texlive-core-2007-r12/image//usr/bin/fmtutil-sys;
then \

make: [install] Error 1 (ignored)

There are two kinds of errors:

1. "error while loading shared libraries" can be reproduced when we install
texlive-core on system without kpathsea.so (without texlive-core installed)
and workaround is simple: just add LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${D}$(get_libdir)" before
emake ... install (not tested) or (better) in correct places of Makefile.

2. Another problem `fmtutil.cnf' is reproducible independently of texlive
installation...

Although it seems that this errors does not harm I'd like to know from you:
Should we ignore this errors?

Yes, they can be safely ignored. texmf-update takes care of the needed updates
(mktexlsr, fmtutil-sys, updmap-sys, texlinks). I guess we could disable it
entirely instead of letting them fail like that.

amd64 stable. Packages I've added to the list:
=media-gfx/sam2p-0.45-r1
=dev-tex/detex-2.8-r1
=app-text/xdvik-22.84.10

Last arch, FIXED.

BTW, Thank you Matthias, for your tests! They gave me more confidence that it's
stable.

BTW2, Alexis, may be it's good idea to stabilize recent detex/sam2p on
remaining archs too.
