#12913: tetex is dead -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: zach@tu-clausthal.de | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.5.0 Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by shreevatsa.public@gmail.com): Posting comment to get cc-ed. (This works, right?) Although MacPorts's policy is to not depend on external software, it is my experience that the right/easy way to install a TeX distribution is through MacTeX (the 700 MB package that comes with everything), so I'm interested in getting ports working with an externally installed MacTeX. I was thinking of starting with AucTeX sometime this week. IMHO, a TeX distribution is one of those few things that are best installed externally, and MacPort's texlive distribution comes with no assurance of being as well integrated into Mac OS X (the "TeX distribution" preference pane, for example) as MacTeX. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12913#comment:7> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
