[Fink-users] concerning system-tetex-20010808-14
Dear fink users, For some time, I've been considering removing the system-tetex and system-ghostscript packages from fink. These packages were created in August, 2001 (as the version number of system-tetex indicates) in order to accomodate users who had installed TeX and/or ghostscript via the only alternative method then available: Gerben Wierda's distribution. However, as the message forwarded below indicates, there are now a number of alternatives available (including different versions of Wierda's distribution, over time) which install things in different places. System-tetex/system-ghostscript as originally designed are essentially unmaintainable. If system-tetex and system-ghostscript are removed, it will simply mean that fink users who wish to use one of the other TeX and ghostscript installations for daily use will be forced to download and install a second copy of TeX (namely fink's copy). My action is prompted by the message I just received, forwarded below, which is advocating scrapping system-tetex. You'll see a detailed analysis of the current situation if you read it. If there are questions about or objections to the removal, I'd like to hear them soon, as I'd like to act on this in the near future. Thanks, Dave Begin forwarded message: From: Peter Dyballa Date: December 16, 2006 6:47:20 AM PST To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: system-tetex-20010808-14 Hello! This package really needs a big fat update! Now the standard install place for TeX on Mac OS X is not that stable as it was when teTeX was still alive. If a user decides to install from any TeX Live DVD, it will happen in /usr/local/texlive- the year. If a user decides to install from Gerben Wierda's TeX Live i-Package, it will happen in /usr/local/gwTeX. If a user decides to install from Gerben Wierda an old teTeX i-Package, it will happen in /usr/local/teTeX – just as known. The giant MacTeX packages (http://www.tug.org/~koch/) will probably mimic the corresponding i-Package's behaviour they are based on. The directories texmf.macosx and texmf.os do not exist in recent TeX i-Packages. Recently I am trying to live with a Geek TeX installation of the TeX Live 2006 based i-Package. It also installs a hierarchy of sym- links in /Library/TeX. Because of this useless stuff I am planning to compile TeX myself, optimised for speed, and install with mpm, the MiKTeX Package Manager (http://dojo.miktex.org/blogs/ christian_schenk/articles/mpmunix.aspx). And of course there is the fact that Gerber Wierda retired from active development. It might be as good to give up the system-tetex package ... - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Does that mean that I'll have to remove fink from path every time when I'll want to use TeX provided by the system? I wouldn't have any objections as long as someone could guarantee me that the TeX provided by fink would be based at least on TeXLive2006, would include XeTeX and the possibility to use the latest ConTeXt. I don't want fink's executables to have precedence over i-Installer's ones since fink's version will probably remain behind time. Most LaTeX users don't ever notice that, but ConTeXt users probably do. (I had to install system-tetex just because there was some strange dependency stating that gnuplot needed kpathsea headers, but outside of fink I managed to compile gnuplot without any problems.)

Mojca You can set your PATH such that your system TeX executables show up earlier and are therefore what gets chosen at run time. You had to install system-tetex because presumably gnuplot is configured to look for kpathsea in a certain path--system-tetex puts in symbolic links to make that work. -- Alexander K.
