why not but we'll need to sort out the bugs first (In reply to comment #1) > why not but we'll need to sort out the bugs first Wouldn't have it any other way ;) BTW, thank you guys for maintaining TeX (and ConTeXt). (In reply to comment #1) > why not but we'll need to sort out the bugs first > unless someone is willing to backport the libpng14 fixes to 2008, we pretty much need this now. Here's my 2ct: bug 303067: dev-texlive/texlive-context, buggy context Not sure how much we can do here except wait for 2010. I tried to patch in newer files from tl-2009 and replace context with even newer, but this just led to more breakage. Non-trivial problem bug 304551: dev-texlive/texlive-latex{,recommended}: caption, hyperref conflict Not a showstopper I'd say. bug 307223: dev-texlive/texlive-context, simplefonts needs newer context see above comments for bug 303067 bug 309997: dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra, world writable files Could be solved quick'n'dirty by a brute-force workaround in src_install (go over files in image and fix permissions) bug 310039: dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra, world writeable files see above comments for bug 309997 bug 312009: app-text/texlive-core-2009-r1, XeTeX config file dvipdfmx.cfg warning Can be solved according to the bug report by adding dvipdfmx-20100328-r1 to RDEPEND. With this in mind, I'd suggest * copying app-text/texlive-2009 to 2009-r1, and removing the context useflag from -2009 * applying above "hotfixes" * requesting stabilization of app-text/texlive-2009 (i.e. tl-09 without context) What do you think?

Non-trivial problem Work out a dev-tex/context ebuild based on what debian is doing. > bug 304551: dev-texlive/texlive-latex{,recommended}: caption, hyperref conflict > Not a showstopper I'd say. > > bug 307223: dev-texlive/texlive-context, simplefonts needs newer context > see above comments for bug 303067 should be gone with 2010 > bug 309997: dev-texlive/texlive-fontsextra, world writable files > Could be solved quick'n'dirty by a brute-force workaround in src_install (go > over files in image and fix permissions) > > bug 310039: dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra, world writeable files > see above comments for bug 309997 cannot reproduce it; explanations on the bug are welcome :) > bug 312009: app-text/texlive-core-2009-r1, XeTeX config file dvipdfmx.cfg > warning > Can be solved according to the bug report by adding dvipdfmx-20100328-r1 to > RDEPEND. not sure it's the correct solution > With this in mind, I'd suggest > * copying app-text/texlive-2009 to 2009-r1, and removing the context useflag > from -2009 > * applying above "hotfixes" > * requesting stabilization of app-text/texlive-2009 (i.e. tl-09 without > context) > > What do you think? hu, no context is an important part of tl these days; dropping it is certainly a no go I'd rather go with TeX Live 2010 which will be in the tree today (masked though) |
