Dear list, Using Edd Barrett's work for providing a texlive package for openbsd and the porting guide he wrote http://students.dec.bmth.ac.uk/ebarrett/texlive/, I made a protfile for texlive for macports that I just committed to svn. This port works for me but has not been thoroughly tested. latex and pdflatex, bibtex, xdvi, and metapost worked for files I tried (I however had to put -tex=latex for metapost to understand latex parts). There are in fact two ports: texlive_texmf-minimal that provides a texmf tree; and texlive that installs the binaries and finishes the installation. There is also a bunch of patches for texlive to honor DESTDIR (and in fact other things I don't know about) that were directly checkouted (stolen?) from openBSD's cvs. What gets build and what doesn't: All the necessary for latex programs get build including mekaindex, dvipdf, ... However, the following parts don't psutils (since there is a port for it). xdvipdfmx (didnot compile because of freetype no longer supporting _FT_New_face_From_FSSpec, _FT_GetFile_Mac_.. and there is a port) xetex (in fact it gets built but the inixetex fails so I deleted the xetex inifiles + we have a port, but I'm afraid it will be conflicting) As I am not very knowledegeable on building latex, I put openmaintainer as a maintainer. I hope someone more knowledgeable than me will join or take the port (I vaguely remember reading that someone was thinking about preparing a port of texlive on irc://irc.freenode.org/#macports but did not find who it was). I hope people will test and improve this port. Emmanuel
