First: Do you really want to build an ebuild? I'm asking because arabtex only depends on an installed TeX system and isn't even OS-specific about it. For Gentoo (and most other Linux distros), that means you can get easily away with: root$ cd /usr/local/share root$ mkdir texmf (if it doesn't yet exist) root$ cd texmf root$ wget ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/arabtex/arab311.tgz (or whatever is current) root$ tar xzf arab311.tgz root$ texhash and you can happily use arabtex on that machine. You can deploy this amongst machines (e.g. rsync'ing the /usr/local/share/texmf tree). > Is there anybody out there who ever made an ebuild or a package for > arabtex which I could use? Well, I would volunteer if you really need one, but please explain first why ;-) -hwh -- [email protected] mailing list
