I would second that! As only a lurker on this list, but an active user of LaTeX and macports, I uninstalled teTeX last year in favour of texlive. While it is not perfect (ideally it would be a core system with additional packages installed as required directly from CTAN with some form of auto-update) it is what is available "right now". It is a pain installing anything using macports that has TeX as a dependency and subsequently having teTeX installed automatically. It is easy to then fix, but still an annoyance! Best wishes, Mark NB: Must say a thank-you for making macports available - it is really rather good, and I rely on it all the time On 13/01/2008, James Sumners <james.sumners@gmail.com> wrote:
I've created a ticket [1] requesting TeXmacs' dependency be updated from teTeX to texLive. But in light of recent emails to the list about teTeX failing to build on Leopard (which I hope to be running soon), I think the teTeX port itself should be reconsidered. It is no longer being maintained upstream, and new releases have been discontinued since May 2006. The author of teTeX even suggests that users move on to using texLive. So I think it would be wise to evaluate the inclusion of, and dependencies on, teTeX.
