#51546: octave @4.0.2: octave build triggers installation of texlive packages even
though MacTeX is installed

     Type:  defect            |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal            |  Milestone:
Component:  ports             |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  texlive, MacTeX   |       Port:  octave
------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Building the octave port in its default variant triggers the installation
 of the following texlive ports:
 * texlive-basic
 * texlive-latex
 * texlive-fonts-recommended
 However, their installation should not be necessary as long as MacTeX is
 installed and configured in the PATH.

 The installation of texlive-basic, texlive-latex, and texlive-fonts-
 recommended hides effectively the MacTeX installation so that compiling
 more complex LaTeX documents suddenly generates lots of errors as
 packages/fonts installed by MacTeX are not found anymore.
