Please ship it, before the tree moves again too much for it to apply.
Marking 10-12 ports as broken is fine.

Set IGNORE and forward your OP to maintainers of said ports.
Our TEX stack is way behind with few people motivated to assess/update
it from first principles.
Include the rationale (and "cat/port: why") details in the tex update
commit log message so its easy for people to grok what to do next.

Hi,
I have been able to port TEX 2021 but there are some failures and caveats which
I wanted to discuss with the community. I have checked only the ports that has
USE_TEX in their Makefile :
What changed and what are the failures:
1. cslatex support has been DEPRECATED upstream
2. print/tex-aleph has been removed as upstream has also removed it
3. Fails to build
- databases/bbdb (Last release was on 2018)
- misc/latex-mk (Last release was on 2010)
- textproc/dblatex (The location of the required file has changed can be
easily patched)
- textproc/bibtool (Someone with latex knowledge should be able to fix this)
- print/sgf2tex (Last release was on 2001)
- print/lgrind (Last release was on 2001)
- print/muttprint (Last release was on 2008)
- cad/alliance (Last release was on 2019)
- math/asymptote (Should be able to fix this later with someone’s help who
knows)
4. Dependents
- print/lilypond{-devel} depends on textproc/dblatex but if we upgrade
lilypond it will no longer require dblatex
In case someone want to check the logs they are available here:
http://pdr.bofh.network/jail.html?mastername=123-tex
http://pdr.bofh.network/jail.html?mastername=123i386-tex
http://pdr.bofh.network/jail.html?mastername=130-tex
http://pdr.bofh.network/jail.html?mastername=MAIN-tex
So my question is whether if we are okay with UPDATING to 2021 while these
10/12 ports are BROKEN/IGNORED? I am looking forward to move forward a bit
faster as there are lots of files involved and the files changes every now and
then and merging everytime is really painful with this big of a patchset.
Thanks in advance for advices and flames. :D
Kind Regards,
Moin (bofh)
