#47972: LaTeXML: texlive-related improvements --------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: bruce.miller@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: LaTeXML | --------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): * I'm saying is that we might want different dependencies on the buildbot than on the "user site". It's 100% useless is the buildbot tries to install the complete TeX Live just for the sake of copying one single plain text file under `$prefix/share/texmf`. Users won't benefit a dime from the buildbot installing the whole TL. * I'm not familiar with LaTeXML either, but from what I understand it's also useful without TeX to some extent. Currently the default installation doesn't even install any LaTeX style *at all*. So basically users who want to take advantage of some of that functionality have to rebuild it manually anyway. Wouldn't it be so much better and user-friendly if the '''default''' installation would ship with those two tiny style files? (It would then be up to users whether they want to install the rest of TeX Live or not. We could still provide a `+texlive` variant pulling in the dependencies if necessary.) * Now that I think of it there's no good reason why `+texlive` and `+mactex` should conflict (as long as the implementation is adjusted). The variant just installs two additional text files. The port could install those files to both locations, so that users who switch between TeX Live from MacTeX and MacPorts would have latexml fully functional under both systems. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47972#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
