I'm not really a tetex expert but I noticed that app-text/tetex was taking a rather long time to emerge. I noticed that it was stuck in this script doing something. Anyways, I was wondering what this line does since this just spits out an error message on my system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
# texconfig-sys font options varfonts texconfig: unknown option `options' given as argument for `texconfig font' texconfig: try `texconfig font' for help ... and ... # texconfig font Usage: texconfig font vardir DIR texconfig font ro texconfig font rw The vardir option changes the VARTEXFONTS variable in the texmf.cnf file. The rw option makes the VARTEXFONTS directory (and subtrees pk, tfm, source) world writable and sets the features appendonlydir:varfonts in mktex.cnf. The ro option makes the VARTEXFONTS directory (and subtrees pk, tfm, source) writable for the owner only and sets the feature texmfvar in mktex.cnf. For more information about these `features', consult the teTeX manual (e.g. by running `texdoc TETEXDOC').
texconfig from tetex-2 knows the "font options varfonts" but texconfig-sys from tetex-3 does not. I have fixed this now if you reemerge tetex. I have not bumped revision, since this is such a small problem, and we are likely going to bump revision after fixing some of the major tetex problems.
