#15446: teTeX 3.0_5 activation failed -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: jmstephensjr@gmail.com | Owner: stechert@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: teTeX octave -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment (by alakazam@melix.net): Sorry for missing this issue. I believe that jmr's revision 37228 should fix this bug ; I am currently attempting to build {{{texlive}}} (but am encountering difficulties ; that will be for another ticket). I agree that having multiple dependencies for the {{{tex}}} binary is evil. However, I think that keeping the {{{pTeX}}} dependency was explicitly requested when upgrading the {{{octave}}} port recently ; is it possible to handle multiple ports providing the same dependencies without resorting to variants ? I would imagine that the answer is no, which would mean I need to add a variant for {{{pTeX}}} so as to avoid the difficulties encountered in this ticket, and at the same time allow japanese {{{octave}}} users to rely on {{{pTeX}}} instead of {{{texlive}}}. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15446#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
