Yes, this is kinda late, but in case you weren't watching: TeXLive version
2009 is out. Some notes:
1. The files are now compressed in the XZ file format. It's for a good
reason too, as even when compressed with XZ, the texmf tarball alone is
around a gigabyte! Now it's a good time to think about replacing LZMA-
Utils with XZ-Utils
2. You have to add --disable-native-texlive-build to configure, else
TeXLive won't build with the --with-system-* options.
3. Upstream recommends that you use the --with-tex-banner when building
for a inpedent distro like BLFS. The one I uses was:
{{{
--with-tex-banner='TeX Live 2009/BLFS'
}}}
4. If building without X, you must put --without-x on the configure line,
else texlive won't compile.
5. As before, lots and lots of programs were installed, taking up a lot
of space.
That's it for my notes.
