OK, I wasn't very good on this point - sorry about that. There are old versions in TeTeX, and they don't work that well for me personally [in fact, they don't appear to be installed properly and I couldn't even get simple examples to compile with what's in TeTeX.] teTeX is also missing the fairly vital documentation and examples without which one is pretty much stuck. The ports I've posted are up to date. There are no incompatibilities since the ports install in texmf-local, thus preserving whatever was in textmf-dist. This does perhaps raise a question of what we should do when there are semi-duplicates with teTeX... Especially with something like beamer has a much quicker release schedule than the somewhat monolithic teTeX. Laurie
