Hi, Firstly I would like to apologise for the cross-post. I wouldn't usually do this, but as the message for both lists is identical, It would have looked like a cross post (even if it wasn't)...
I have just finished porting TeXLive (A modern TeX distribution to replace the old teTeX port) to OpenBSD. During the porting process I documented the how/why and what's of the port; a) So that I can remember how to do it when the next release of texlive comes out and b) So that the other BSD's might find the information useful for a port as our ports (or pkgsrc for NetBSD) systems are similar(ish). Here are the reason I personaly chose to port TeXLive: - No sparc64 binaries on the TeXLive DVD - TeXLive more modern than teTeX - XeteX support - ConTeXt support - More comprehensive macro collection - pkg_add convenience There is a whole load of information and source code relating to the OpenBSD port on my webpage (http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett/texlive/). Hope it might help. If not, disregard this mail. I am not on list, so if you do want to contact me, you should reply to my personal email address. -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
