Since the tetex is not longer the only tex distribution in gentoo the use flag should be renamed in ebuilds (if the support is for tex not for tetex specificly). Reproducible: Always
do you have a list of packages where it would make sense to rename the tetex useflag to tex ? There are probably many others useflag names that would be more explicit: kpathsea, latex, dvi, etc.
Packages having a tetex useflag: app-doc/doxygen app-emacs/bbdb app-office/lyx app-text/a2ps app-text/docbook-sgml-utils app-text/linuxdoc-tools app-text/sgmltools-lite dev-lang/swi-prolog dev-python/matplotlib dev-python/pyopenssl kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdvi/kdvi media-libs/allegro media-libs/freetype/freetype-1.3.1-r5.ebuild nls tetex sci-libs/plplot sci-mathematics/maxima sci-mathematics/octave sci-physics/jaxodraw sci-visualization/gnuplot/gnuplot-4.2.2.ebuild www-servers/boa xfce-extra/thunar-thumbnailers
app-office/grisbi:print - Enable TeX and printing support That's what I found.
Hi teams, you all have USE=tetex on the below packages, which is not describing capabilities but a bundle to achieve it. teTeX won't be the standard installation for TeX in the near future on Gentoo, it is deprecated and we should all switch to TeXLive. So please check what your tetex USE flag is for and adjust it to one of the following: latex -- install LaTeX support files or enable support for it in the program dvi -- add support for the dvi format for displaying or output kpathsea -- use kpathsea library for file lookup tex -- install plain TeX support files or enable support for it in the program If none of the above matches your needs, think of something yourself or ask here. There are other TeX formats or variants as ConTeXt, XeTeX and the like, so have a close look which one is met here. The dependency has to be adjusted, too. If there is only need for the core LaTeX functionality you can switch to virtual/latex-base, else stay with virtual/tetex until the new virtual/latex-full is introduced to the tree. Remove yourself as soon as you fixed it AND no USE flag with tetex is still in the tree. Make stabilisation bugs block of this one. dev-tools, nerdboy: app-doc/doxygen emacs: app-emacs/bbdb cjk, tex: app-office/lyx cjk, printing: app-text/a2ps sgml: app-text/docbook-sgml-utils app-text/linuxdoc-tools app-text/sgmltools-lite prolog: dev-lang/swi-prolog python: dev-python/matplotlib dev-python/pyopenssl kde: kde-base/kdegraphics kde-base/kdvi/kdvi games: media-libs/allegro fonts: media-libs/freetype sci, cryos: sci-libs/plplot sci-mathematics: sci-mathematics/maxima sci-mathematics, metalgod: sci-mathematics/octave nelchael, java: sci-physics/jaxodraw sci, opfer: sci-visualization/gnuplot (already fixed in 4.2.2-r1) www-servers (?), maintainer-needed: www-servers/boa xfce: xfce-extra/thunar-thumbnailers gnome-office: app-office/grisbi:print <- please check that USE flag, description reads as "Enable TeX and printing support"
I just fixed, sci-mathematics/octave sci-mathematics/maxima thanks, Markus
(In reply to comment #2) > Packages having a tetex useflag: > xfce-extra/thunar-thumbnailers Converted to virtual/latex-base with USE latex since it's a script calling latex to generate thumbnails.
dev-lang/swi-prolog fixed in CVS. Thanks for the guidance.
USE=latex will probably become a global one, but if you introduce some of the minor USE flags, think about having a time of both tetex and your new. If users have set USE=tetex, notice them by ewarn that USE=tetex is deprecated.
app-emacs/bbdb fixed; it has IUSE=tex and will keep IUSE=tetex for a transition period. However, I think the tex flag is of limited use as long as there is no virtual/tex-base and one has to pull in latex-base with it. If bbdb should end up as the only package in the tree with IUSE=tex, then we may consider using the latex flag instead.
(In reply to comment #9) > However, I think the tex flag is of limited use as long as there is no > virtual/tex-base and one has to pull in latex-base with it. if you think it is a good idea, just fire a mail to -dev to ask for it; you already have my support for it, I was using it in my texlive overlay before merging to the tree but didn't push for it as latex-base was sufficient and simpler. Note: packages using only kpathsea can benefit from this virtual also.
freetype changed to USE=latex.
[This is a follow-up summary so we have all information in one place: - new reference to virtual/tex-base to be introduced this week - having tetex and new USE flag side by side - straighten language] Hi teams, you all have USE=tetex on the below packages, which is not describing capabilities but a bundle to achieve it. teTeX won't be the standard installation for TeX in the near future on Gentoo, it is deprecated and we should all switch to TeXLive. So please check what your tetex USE flag is for and adjust it to one of the following: latex -- install LaTeX support files or enable support for it in the program (virtual/latex-base) dvi -- add support for the dvi format for displaying or output kpathsea -- use kpathsea library for file lookup (virtual/tex-base) tex -- install TeX (only TeX nothing like LaTeX!) support files or enable support for it in the program (virtual/tex-base) If none of the above matches your needs, think of something yourself or ask here. There are other TeX formats or variants as ConTeXt, XeTeX and the like, so have a close look which one is met here. Maybe take into account having two USE flags with same functionality for some time: E.g. IUSE="tetex latex", where USE=tetex gives out a warning about deprecation by ewarn. The dependency has to be adjusted, too. For example if there is only need for the core LaTeX functionality you can switch to virtual/latex-base, else stay with virtual/tetex until the new virtual/latex-full is introduced to the tree.

(In reply to comment #12) > python: > dev-python/matplotlib > dev-python/pyopenssl matplotlib's tetex USE flag has been renamed to dvi. pyopenssl's tetex USE flag has already been renamed to doc in the latest version. I've made the change in previous versions as well.
> matplotlib's tetex USE flag has been renamed to dvi. sorry about this, changed to latex and added virtual/latex-base together with virtual/ghostscript to DEPEND. It requires a working latex installation and ghostscript for latex support.

sci-libs/plplot-5.5.2 : tetex has been renamed to local jadetex
www-servers/boa fixed
app-text/a2ps fixed, USE=tetex had no effect and automagic dependencies up to now.
sci-physics/jaxodraw fixed.
media-libs/allegro done
I've recently emerged texlive on x86 stable, this is the list of the useflags I had to toggle to prevent tetex from blocking: =media-gfx/sane-backends-1.0.18-r6 -doc =kde-base/kopete-3.5.8 -latex =kde-base/kdvi-3.5.8 -tetex =app-text/evince-2.20.2 -dvi =app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r1 -doc =app-doc/doxygen-1.5.4 -tetex Some of these might be fixed in ~x86, but I didn't check... In addition, I needed to add the following keyword: =app-text/mftrace-1.2.13 ~x86 x86
grisbi claims to need "LaTeX with unicode support" for printing. The use flag description should probably just say printing, and it should probably be an RDEPEND and not also a DEPEND, but those are only minor issues, I think. The bigger issue it the dep itself: it's currently virtual/tetex and >=dev-tex/latex-unicode-20041017. Is there anything wrong with this dep? If so, what should we change it to?

The > bigger issue it the dep itself: it's currently virtual/tetex and > >=dev-tex/latex-unicode-20041017. Is there anything wrong with this dep? well latex-unicode is included as ucs in texlive-latexrecommended but I had failures without texlive-latexextra. What I would use as dep would be: virutal/latex-base || ( dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra >=dev-tex/latex-unicode-20041017 ) and everything should be fine
Okay, grisbi is done.

doxygen long time fixed by nerdboy.
KDE team, will you fix your two packages or can someone else do it?
All packages done for sgml.
All fixed, closing. reopen if you spot one I haven't
