#43598: Updated LaTeXML portfile & tarball -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: bruce.miller@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: maintainer Port: LaTeXML | -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by bruce.miller@…): I have a question about having tex as a dependency. Some of my users prefer MacTeX and complained that the Portfile installed texlive even though they already had a full (large) tex system that they preferred. Is there a way to specify an "abstract" dependence on TeX so that texlive would only be installed if there were *no* TeX system already installed? As it turns out, TeX is an optional dependency for LaTeXML: it runs without it, but it makes much more sense to use it *with* TeX installed. If there isn't an alternative way of depending on an abstract tex, do you think it would be better to leave out that dependence entirely and ask the user to pre-install texlive if they need it?
