Description Horea Christian 2016-12-02 17:53:01 UTC
fvextra.sty is required to compile newer versions of at least one other gentoo package https://github.com/gpoore/pythontex/issues/95#issuecomment-264448364

Apparently it is provided by texlive-2016. In Arch Linux it's provided by =dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2016, but the newest we have is =dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra-2015-r1

Perhaps a version bump is all that is needed?

I do not know any distribution with recent texlive support. 
Unfortunately the texlive ebuild in gentoo is outdated too.

I suggest to use the texlive installer from 
https://www.tug.org/texlive/
to get the most recent textlive.

Can you provide the full package names and version of ebuilds that depend on fvextra.sty? We should link them here as dependency/blocker

I am only aware of =dev-tex/pythontex-0.15 and =dev-tex/pythontex-9999 , which require it. Pythontex is in gentoo-science (and maintained by myself). In the mean time should I just not push the pythontex version bump to the repo?

As for the texlive installer, I would like to avoid installing software not tracked by portage - also, I would like to continue to provide newer pythontex versions to users of Gentoo.

Sadly, I have read the texlive bump story https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:TeX/Tex_Live_Bump_Story and I am definitely nowhere close to up to the task of sorting this out myself - and I currently lack the time to become thus. What can I do other than wait?
